How to set margin for Typst?

Hi,

I am trying to set the margins when converting a Markdown file to a PDF 
with Typst.
According to the documentation 
<https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#variables-for-typst>, 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

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

Thanks for the answer. I ended up creating a metadata file and passing it 
as --metadata-file=metadata.yaml.

It contains a standard YAML dictionary:
margin:
  top: 10mm
  left: 20mm
  right: 20mm
  bottom: 10mm

Regards,
Cerdo
