YAML metadata plugin
Nesta's metadata is stored in simple key/value pairs. The values always have to be strings, but if you need something a bit more structured install this plugin and you can use YAML instead.
For example, if you wanted to put an array in your document, you could do this:
Meaning of:
- life
- 42
# Title of page...
Body copy...
And then in your template, you'd find that this:
@page.metadata('meaning of')
would return:
['life', 42]
