- test: Simple Alias Example
- brief: >
- If you need to refer to the same item of data twice,
- you can give that item an alias. The alias is a plain
- string, starting with an ampersand. The item may then
- be referred to by the alias throughout your document
- by using an asterisk before the name of the alias.
- This is called an anchor.
- yaml: |
- - &showell Steve
- - Clark
- - Brian
- - Oren
- - *showell
- php: |
- ['Steve', 'Clark', 'Brian', 'Oren', 'Steve']
