Line folding in block scalars

Hi folks,

I have two question regarding block scalars:

  1. In Example 8.12 [1], there is a folded block scalar which starts 
with an empty line. It hence contains one newline character. Since it is 
a folded scalar, wouldn't the newline character be subject to line 
folding (so that it is interpreted as a space instead)? Perhaps I 
overlook the part of the spec where it says that leading empty lines are 
not subject to line folding, but I searched for it and didn't find 
anything.

  2. In Example 8.2 [2], the last block scalar is a folded scalar which 
contains a line that only contains a tabular character, and a second 
line which contains "detected". The example interprets that as "\t 
detected", but isn't the single tabular a more-indented line? In 6.5, 
the spec defines:

> Note that such a more-indented line may consist only of such leading 
> white space.

     Since newlines around more-indented lines are not folded, shouldn't 
the correct interpretation be "\t\ndetected"?


Cheers,
Felix
