I want to create a fixture that has multiple lines of text as one of  
the fields. Some of the lines start with “text:” Something like:

article:  
subject: Article  
content: This is the content  
something: happens here

How can I do that?

article:  
subject: Article  
content: |  
This is some multi-line text.  
It needs to be consistently indented, but  
other than that, you can do pretty much  
what you want.  
foo: bar

There is an example doc at [http://www.yaml.org/start.html](http://www.yaml.org/start.html).
