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

Example: dict with Embedded SVGs

The partial below creates a SVG and expects fill height and width from the caller:

{{< code file="layouts/partials/svgs/external-links.svg" download="external-links.svg" >}} {{< /code >}}

These values can be stored in one object with dict and passed to the partial:

{{< code file="layouts/_default/list.html" >}} {{ partial "svg/link-ext.svg" (dict "fill" "#01589B" "size" 10 "width" 20 ) }} {{< /code >}}
