>>> p.put('single/folder/backend', 'data')
>>> os.path.exists('./content/single^folder^backend.yaml')
True

MultiFolderBackend maps 'my/url' to filename 'my/url.yaml'

>>> p = YamlPage('./content', backend=MultiFolderBackend)
>>> p.put('multi/folder/backend', 'data')
>>> os.path.exists('./content/multi/folder/backend.yaml')
True

Filters

You can automaticaly apply filters to a particular page fields. As an example let's render body markdown to html.

import misaka p = YamlPage('./content', filters={"md": misaka.html}) p.get(url)["body"] == '

\n
• foo
\n
• bar
\n

\n' True
