Yaml Parser choking

Question

Hey guys,

I have a yaml snippet

...
passwordregexp: '.{8},[0-9],[^0-9A-Za-z ],[A-Z],[a-z]'
passwordregexpfailmessage: |-
    Contain at least 8 characters
    Contain at least 1 Number
    Contain at least  1 Special Character
    Contain at least 1 Upper Case Letter
    Contain at least 1 Lower Case Letter
passwordresetperiod: 1000
pdflatex_path: /usr/local/texlive/bin/x86_64-linux/pdflatex
...

My yaml parser chokes on Passwordregexfailmessage: Its clear it doesnt like the syntax but am not familiar with yaml. How do you quote or structure this element to make it parsable.

This is to be displayed if a password does not meet the passwordregexp criteria. thanks

The document is valid YAML 1.1 (http://instantyaml.appspot.com/):

%YAML 1.1
---
!!map {
    ? !!str "passwordregexp"
    : !!str ".{8},[0-9],[^0-9A-Za-z ],[A-Z],[a-z]",
    ? !!str "passwordregexpfailmessage"
    : !!str "Contain at least 8 characters\nContain at least 1 Number\nContain at\
        \ least  1 Special Character\nContain at least 1 Upper Case Letter\nContain\
        \ at least 1 Lower Case Letter",
    ? !!str "passwordresetperiod"
    : !!int "1000",
    ? !!str "pdflatex_path"
    : !!str "/usr/local/texlive/bin/x86_64-linux/pdflatex",
}
...

What is the parser ? Does it support YAML 1.1 ?
