      Oh yeah, good point. It might make sense for those to remain YAML to allow for more advanced tweaks. I learned programming in Excel 97 by recording macros and then viewing and tweaking the VBA code behind them, and this feels kinda similar (although YAML isn’t a programming language).

          It was a pretty decent way to get started with coding! This was back in the late 90s in Australia. I didn’t have internet access or programming books, so all I could do was teach myself. Being able to record a macro and see the code behind it was extremely useful! :)
