I'm happy to report that Kirill's YamlLexer implementation was accepted
right away into pygments main mercurial repository.

Changeset [564:3c18200871c5] by gbrandl Rename YAMLLexer to YamlLexer? to
be consistent with other names.

Changeset [563:cfe7884f4d73] by gbrandl Merge after yaml lexer addition.
http://dev.pocoo.org/projects/pygments/changeset/563%3Acfe7884f4d73

YamlLexer should be present in the next release of pygments, which means
tools like Trac and Sphinx will soon colorize YAML.

gbrandl made some token=style mapping substitutions for us. Some YAML
tokens are still custom style names, and as such are not visibly colorized
out of the box (the user would need to supply a CSS rule).

I'll gather some information on all pygments built-in styles and start a
new thread here to get some input on additional syntax tokens which could
reasonably map to built-in styles.

Thanks again Kirill,
Jeff
