Thank you. Quoting resolves the issue. But I want to say, indeed, the rest
of the output didn't tell me what to do. :)
The whole output is:
ERROR: Syntax Error while loading YAML script,
/home/dev/playbooks/harden/install.yml
Note: The error may actually appear before this position: line 39, column 8
with_items:
- {{ error_404_page }}
I know some Syntax Error messages describe exactly what to do about
quoting. But "with_items" does not. :)
