 # Passing HTML / CSS Attributes to a generated image
 
 When using ImageLoader to generate an `<img>` element it may be desirable for the generated element to include additional attributes to provide styling or interaction qualities.  The optional `imgAttributes` value can be used to provide such additional attributes which will be included in the generated `<img>` element in the DOM.
