quoting strings with comma in flow style

[MarDiehl]

I have the following content:

- Aa,
  Bb, C,
  D
- Eee,
  F, Gg,
  E

fy-dump -m flow-oneline test.yaml gives

[Aa, Bb, C, D, Eee, F, Gg, E]

where only the coloring of the commas indicates that the list contains 2 string entries, not 8. When using the library directly to convert to oneline flow style,

void to_flow(char **flow, int* length_flow, const char *mixed){                                   
  struct fy_document *fyd = NULL;                                                                   
  enum fy_emitter_cfg_flags emit_flags = FYECF_MODE_FLOW_ONELINE | FYECF_STRIP_LABELS | FYECF_STRIP_TAGS |FYECF_STRIP_DOC;

  fyd = fy_document_build_from_string(NULL, mixed, -1);                                             
  if (!fyd) {                                                                                       
    *length_flow = -1;                                                                              
    return;                                                                                         
  }                                                                                                 
  int err = fy_document_resolve(fyd);                                                               
  if (err) {                                                                                        
    *length_flow = -1;                                                                              
    return;                                                                                         
  }                                                                                                 

  *flow = fy_emit_document_to_string(fyd,emit_flags);                                               
  *length_flow = strlen(*flow);                                                                     

  fy_document_destroy(fyd);                                                                         
}

the coloring is lost and one gets a list with 8 entries. Is it possible to automatically add quotes to multiline strings?

Yeah, this is absolutely a bug. Will address shortly.

@pantoniou: many thanks, works perfect for me. Is there the chance that you make a new release soon so that also people using package managers can benefit?
