v3: (Encoder) setting indentation for sequences

[starkers]

Heya ..amateur gopher here so go easy on me please..

I'm looking at the code on https://github.com/wangkuiyi/yamlfmt which is using v3

With a (eg stdout) stream I can see how the code uses an Encoder which is great, and I can easily see how the indent is modified via: https://pkg.go.dev/gopkg.in/yaml.v3#Encoder.SetIndent

What I'm trying todo however is set the indent level for the list/items.. EG:
currently:

doc:
  key: foo
  items:
    - one
    - two

but I'd like a more compact:

doc:
  key: foo
  items:
  - one
  - two

I cannot see any such receiver function on the *Encoder so I'm not certain how to do this am I missing something or is it just not implemented?

In v3 the indentation has been changed and no option to revert to a v2 like output is provided.

Voices have already raised this problem, see :

• Revert "Set the default line length to infinity (-1) (#571)" #670 (comment)
• v3: dumps indenting not coherent with v2 #647

But so far the maintainer does not seem to be inclined to either revert to the v2 formatting (that we all know about) or at least provide a way to configure the it.

Indeed, at least not at this time we won't have an API in v3 for that, and the reason is that v3 makes The formatting in v2

[niemeyer]

The formatting in v2 was inconsistent in several ways with many edge cases. In v3 we've changed it to simply make it not special: every depth level is indented by the space amount of spacing, regardless of its type.

I understand that some people will be used to the old formatting, but on this basis alone it'd be hard to evolve anything.
