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?

Hi,

I am trying to set the margins when converting a Markdown file to a PDF with Typst.
According to the documentation, this should be possible by setting the variable margin as
dictionary with the fields defined in the Typst documentation: x, y, top, bottom, left, right.

How do I define the dictionary?
As far, I have tried:
-V margin=top:1mm
-V margin="top:1mm"
-V margin="(top:1mm)"
-V margin="{\"top\":"1mm"}"
and many other combinations
What is the correct way to provide this "dictionary"?

Best,
Cerdo
