The ability to create blogs with Quarto is amazing! I am converting my website from blogdown and it has been very easy. Thank you.

I ran into errors when trying to make a page with multiple listings. I copied the following from the [guide](https://quarto.org/docs/websites/website-listings.html#multiple-listings):

```
---
title: Team Documents
listings: 
  - id: lab-reports
    content: "lab-reports/*.qmd"
    type: table
  - id: meeting-notes
    content: "meeting-notes/*.qmd"
    type:table
---

## Lab Reports

:::{#lab-reports}
:::

## Meeting Notes

:::{#meeting-notes}
:::
```

When rendering, I receive the error:

```
ERROR: YAMLError: can not read an implicit mapping pair; a colon is missed at line 9, column 15:
        type:table
                  ^
```

I added a space between `type:` and `table` and received the error:

```
ERROR: Validation of YAML front matter failed.

    type: table but it must instead be `true` or `false`

ℹ The error happened in location listings.

```

I tried with `contents` instead of `content` and received a similar error:

```
ERROR: Validation of YAML front matter failed.
ERROR: In file test.qmd

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 6:     type: table
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 7:   - id: meeting-notes
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 8:     contents: "meeting-notes/*.qmd"
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 9:     type: table
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
10: ---

    type: table is a object.
ℹ The error happened in location listings.

ERROR: Render failed due to invalid YAML.
```

One last thing I tried was `listing` rather than `listings`. The page renders but does not show the .qmd items, and throws this error:

```
Error in yaml::yaml.load(..., eval.expr = TRUE) : 
  Scanner error: while scanning a simple key at line 8, column 5 could not find expected ':' at line 9, column 1
```

I appreciate you taking a look at this issue. Thanks again!
