title: Preserve new lines in YAML
body: <p>How do I format a YAML document like this so that PyYAML can parse it properly?</p>
  
  <pre><code>Data: Some data, here and a special character like ':'
        Another line of data on a separate line
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know that the ':' character is special so I have to surround the whole thing in quotations like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Data: "Some data, here and a special character like ':'
        Another line of data on a separate line"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And in order to add a new line, I have to add '\n':</p>
  
  <pre><code>Data: "Some data, here and a special character like ':'\n
        Another line of data on a separate line"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there anyway to format the YAML document so I don't have to add the '<code>\n</code>'s in order to have a new line?</p>
