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