How could/should I state colon (punctuation) in a YAML file?

You should be able to double quote the value:
test_key_html: "Test value:"
This avoids colon-confusion in the YAML and gets your colon into your HTML.
Consider this in irb
:
>> { 'en' => { 'test_key_html' => 'Test value:' } }.to_yaml
=> "--- \nen: \n test_key_html: "Test value:"\n"

I am using Ruby on Rails 3.1.0 and I would like to know how to correctly state colon (punctuation) in a YAML file. I tried to support that by adding the following code in my
config/locales/defaults/en.yml file
en # ':' is the HTML code for ':' test_key_html: Test value:
and in my view file I used
t('test_key_html')
but it doesn't work (in the front end content is displayed the "plain"
Test value:
text).Is it possible? If so how?
