Use the template function to execute a defined template:

{{ template "foo" (dict "answer" 42) }}

{{ define "foo" }}
  {{ printf "The answer is %v." .answer }}
{{ end }}

The example above can be rewritten using an inline partial template:

{{ partial "inline/foo.html" (dict "answer" 42) }}

{{ define "_partials/inline/foo.html" }}
  {{ printf "The answer is %v." .answer }}
{{ end }}

The key distinctions between the preceding two examples are:

1. Inline partials are globally scoped. That means that an inline partial defined in one template may be called from any template.
2. Leveraging the partialCached function when calling an inline partial allows for performance optimization through result caching.
3. An inline partial can return a value of any data type instead of rendering a string.
