In YAML metadata: margin: {x: 1.75cm, y: 2cm} works with the Typst 
template, however I assume given the docmentation for the -M option:

> Values will be parsed as YAML boolean or string values

Suggests that YAML lists cannot be passed via the command line. In which 
case the solution is to use a metadata or a defaults file to pass these 
options?

Cheers, Ian
