Specify the key-value pairs as individual arguments:
```go-html-template
{{ $m := dict "a" 1 "b" 2 }}
```
The above produces this data structure:
```json
{
"a": 1,
"b": 2
}
```
To create an empty map:
```go-html-template
{{ $m := dict }}
```
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-html-template
{{ $m := dict (slice "a" "b" "c") "value" }}
```
The above produces this data structure:
```json
{
"a": {
"b": {
"c": "value"
}
}
}
```
