Please improve formatter for better _____ with default settings yamllint

current errors:

• missing document start "---"
• no new line character at the end of file
• wrong indentation in sequence
• inline comment: "too few spaces before comment"

Sorry, but I do not exactly understand what is meant by the description.

What I (hopefully) understand:

• Your are using yamllint
• You would like to have a yaml document formatted by Yaml-Editor per default in a way so it is automatically "green" when calling yamllint default settings

What I not understand:

• What is meant with ___________ ?
• current errors

Please add some example yaml snippets and describe your wanted behaviour:
I would like to have

• origin one (unformatted)
• formatted with Yaml-Editor
• WANTED format output to be suitable for yamllint

[daltinn]

I'm sorry for my mistakes

file suitable for yamllint (no errors or warnings) WANTED format:

---
some_key:
  - sequence_1
  - sequence_2  # inline comment, "#" indented by two spaces
  # - sequence_commented
another_key:

after auto-format previous file (Shift-CRTL-F in Eclipse):

some_key:
- sequence_1
- sequence_2 # inline comment
another_key: null
# ----------------
# Orphan comments:
# ----------------
# Was at begin of line:5 :# - sequence_commented

result of yamllint after auto-formatting

test.yml
  1:1       warning  missing document start "---"  (document-start)
  2:1       error    wrong indentation: expected 2 but found 0  (indentation)
  3:14      warning  too few spaces before comment  (comments)
  5:1       warning  comment not indented like content  (comments-indentation)
  8:49      error    no new line character at the end of file  (new-line-at-end-of-file)

about errors:
1:1 - example in documentation
2:1 - in example in documentation sequence indented as expect yamllint
3:14 - example in documentation
8:49 - file must ending with new-line-at-end-of-file for better compatibility with Linux & git

thank you

Is there an external formatter tool which could do the job? Inside bash editor we got an external formatter option, see de-jcup/eclipse-bash-editor#117 which can call any external formatter - per default beautysh.

Would this be an option?
