 One can use the `t-att-` directive to add dynamic attributes. Its main use is to
 evaluate an expression (at rendering time) and bind an attribute to its result:

+There is another way to format a string attribute: the `t-attf-` directive. With
+it, you get string interpolation:
+
+```xml
+<div t-attf-foo="a {{value1}} is {{value2}} of {{value3}} ]"/>
+<!-- result if values are set to 1,2 and 3: <div foo="a 0 is 1 of 2 ]"></div> -->

+
+For historical reason, there is an alternate form of string interpolation:
+
+```xml
+<div t-attf-foo="a #{value1} is #{value2} of #{value3} ]"/>
+<!-- result if values are set to 1,2 and 3: <div foo="a 0 is 1 of 2 ]"></div> -->
