### Positional parameters

*  {{</* get-parameters-test-02 1 2 3 */>}}   
  => {{< get-parameters-test-02 1 2 3 >}}
*  {{</* get-parameters-test-02 1 foo 3 */>}}  
  => {{< get-parameters-test-02 1 foo 3 >}}
*  {{</* get-parameters-test-02 1 foo bar 3 */>}}  
  => {{< get-parameters-test-02 1 foo bar 3 >}}
*  {{</* get-parameters-test-02 1 "foo bar" 3 */>}}  
  => {{< get-parameters-test-02 1 "foo bar" 3 >}}



### Named parameters

{{` always quote the values using " `}}

*  {{</* get-parameters-test-02 arg1="1" arg2="2" arg3="3" */>}}   
  => {{< get-parameters-test-02 arg1="1" arg2="2" arg3="3" >}}
*  {{</* get-parameters-test-02 arg1="1" arg2="foo" arg3="3" */>}}   
  => {{< get-parameters-test-02 arg1="1" arg2="foo" arg3="3" >}}

#### Not cool:
A) {{</* get-parameters-test-02 arg1=42 arg2="foo" */>}}   
  => {{< get-parameters-test-02 arg1=42 arg2="foo" >}}

So **always** quote using **`"`**

Named parameters

{{always quote the values using "}}

• {{< get-parameters-test-02 arg1=“1” arg2=“foo” arg3=“3” >}}
  => map[string]string{"arg2":"foo", "arg3":"3", "arg1":"1"}

Not cool:

A) {{< get-parameters-test-02 arg1=42 arg2=“foo” >}}
=> map[string]string{"arg1":"foo"}

So always quote using "
