How to set emit style for specific yaml-cpp node

I emit a YAML document as follows:

YAML::Node doc; // ...populate doc... YAML::Emitter out; out << doc;

Somewhere in the node hierarchy, I have a specific sequence that I would like to emit in the Flow style, and everything else should use the default style settings.

I can’t find a way to do this otherwise than manually emit each node and keep track of the nodes that interest me. It seems like a high price to pay for something relatively simple.

Ideally, I would like to tag the Node tag to say: "If you are emitting, do it with the following style." But I do not think there is support for this.

Can anyone think about how to manually fix the entire document?

Thank you very much.

This feature has already been implemented as indicated in this question .

You can set the node style with the following code

 node.SetStyle(YAML::EmitterStyle::Flow);

or

 node.SetStyle(YAML::EmitterStyle::Block);

This is currently not possible, but I presented it as a function request:
