Ruby 1.9.3 defaults to using Psych for YAML. While the ruby-doc documentation for it is completely lacking, I was able to find one external piece of documentation
Deep in the guts of ruby-1.9.3-p125/ext/psych/emitter.c I found three options:
ruby-1.9.3-p125/ext/psych/emitter.c
indentation
line_width
canonical
And they work!
