I do this for a while. Convert data into YAML, eg. from XML, indent
manually (there were no nested TAP at that time), and just print it
out manually. Chaining XML::Simple with some YAML module might give
you a quick start.
ok 1 foo
ok 2 bar
---
some:
hot:
stuff:
foo: bar
baz: zig zag
other_stuff:
affe: 23
zomtec: 42
...
ok 3 the saga continues
I later evaluate it using TAP::DOM which implicitely connects the YAML
to the test line before ("ok 2 bar" in this case).
I did never care for reserved key names as once discussed, because I
strongly believe they are in the same user design space as the test
descriptions.
Having the indenting done by the YAMLish::Writer or Test::Builder
would be nice, though, because simply inserting some space might only
fork for trivial key:value content.
Kind regards,
Steffen
