Newbie trying to understand YAML

Coming over from Hubitat and trying to wrap my head around this universe. I’m running Hass.io and trying to transfer over some of my Hubitat automations one at a time…For the most part I’m using a combination of google searches and the Automation GUI to port these over. I have a question that I bet is pretty simple for 90% of the users here. I currently have two automations built: One to turn on a switched light when a door is open and another to turn off the same switched light when the door closes. I’ve got to imagine these can be combined but I can’t figure out how to do it in the GUI and when I start to mess with a text editor I get syntax errors…I’m curious to know how the ‘experts’ here would combine these two automations?
