+      Dict is a convenience function that creates a map with string keys.
+      Provide arguments as key/value pairs. If an odd number of arguments
+      is provided, the last is used as the key, and an empty string is
+      set as the value.
+
+      All keys are converted to strings.
+
+      This function is equivalent to [Sprig's `dict`](http://masterminds.github.io/sprig/dicts.html#dict)
+      function, as used in [Helm templates](https://docs.helm.sh/chart_template_guide#template-functions-and-pipelines).
+
+      For creating more complex maps or maps with non-`string` keys, see
+      [`data.JSON`](../data/#data-json) or [`data.YAML`](../data/#data-yaml).
+
+      For creating arrays, see [`conv.Slice`](#conv-slice).
+    arguments:
+      - name: in...
