I'm trying to use the yaml object variable feature. I have the test file in pages/test.html as:


---
header_text: Lorem Ipsum
custom_object:
  name: Lorem
  description: Ipsum
custom_array:
  -
    name: lorem
  -
    name: ipsum
...

<html>
    {% for item in custom_array %}
      <p>{{ header_text }}: {{ item.name }}</p>
    {% endfor %}

    <p>{{ custom_object.name }} | {{ custom_object.description }}</p>
</html>

The resulting page is:


---
header_text: Lorem Ipsum
custom_object:
  name: Lorem
  description: Ipsum
custom_array:
  -
    name: lorem
  -
    name: ipsum
...

<html>


    <p> | </p>
</html>

{{ custom_object.name }} should be {{ custom_object['name'] }}. Without serialization/deserialization support of custom objects, I'd suggest just sticking to the default types supported in yaml: lists, dicts, strings, none/null, ints, floats

Also not sure how to workout the YAML variables.
I've used them in the base template

eg.

---
body_class: page
...
<body class="{{ body_class }}">

And them tried to change the var in a page, but had the same result above

Ok, in my case I was using version 3.3.3
But YAML support is currently on master only

pip uninstall Cactus
pip install https://github.com/eudicots/Cactus/archive/master.zip

Installing from master worked. Thanks.
