Hi, so for my site I’m trying to fit two values into one range, kinda like this

Frontmatter:

```auto
info:
  - n: name1
    y: 2023
  - n: name2
    y: 2023

```

Code:

```auto
{{ range .Params.info }}
Name {{ .n }}<br>
Year {{ .y }}<br><br>
{{ end }}

```

It doesn’t work though. I get this error:  
`execute of template failed at <.n>: can’t evaluate field n in type string`

Where am I going wrong here?

Also this is where I found the solution I’m trying to use if it matters:

Hugo’s YAML interpreter is a bit out of date, where n is false and y is true, so this:

```yaml
info:
- n: name1
  y: 2023
- n: name2
  y: 2023

```

is interpreted as:

```auto
[map[false:name1 true:2023] map[false:name2 true:2023]]

```

Quote the keys:

```yaml
info:
- "n": name1
  "y": 2023
- "n": name2
  "y": 2023

```

The early YAML spec mapped all kinds of things to true and false. Norway got the sharp end of the stick on that one.
