`dict` is especially useful for passing more than one value to a partial template.

Note that the `key` can be either a `string` or a `string slice`. The latter is useful to create a deeply nested structure, e.g.:

```go-text-template
{{ $m := dict (slice "a" "b" "c") "value" }}
```
## Example: Using `dict` to pass multiple values to a `partial`
The partial below creates a SVG and expects `fill`, `height` and `width` from the caller:

**Partial call**
The `fill`, `height` and `width` values can be stored in one object with `dict` and passed to the partial:
{{< code file="layouts/_default/list.html" >}}
{{ partial "svgs/external-links.svg" (dict "fill" "#01589B" "width" 10 "height" 20 ) }}
{{< /code >}}
