YAML list problems

When I open .md files with YAML frontmatter formatted with lists, the brackets become a part of the name of the elements in the list.

Eg:
—-
Tags: [tag1, tag2, tag3]
—-

The tags will then look like this: “[tag1”, “tag2” and “tag3]”.

I tried to figure out why but didn’t find any information on her😊

In the page property, the value of can be a array and the separator is ,. Therefore any character in each side of the comma is a word. In your example, the [ will be associated with the rest of those characters to make a tag. Your solution is use

---
Tags: tag1, tag2, tag3
---

Keep it simple.

Oh, I see! But isn’t the correct YAML with brackets or with -? Or am I just super confused now? haha

So either:

---
Tags: [tag1, tag2, tag3]
---

or:

---
Tags:
    - tag1
    - tag2
    - tag3
---

Thank you so much for the reply btw😊
