 - `bundlebee-indent:<indent size>:<value>`: indents a value with the provided space size, it is generally combined with another interpolation (file ones in particular) as value, ex `{{bundlebee-indent:8:{{bundlebee-inline-file:myfile.txt}}}}`,
 - `bundlebee-inline-file:<file path>`: load the file content as value,
 - `bundlebee-base64-file:<file path>`: converts the file in base64 (useful to write `data:xxxx,<base64>` values for ex keeping the raw file in the filesystem, very helpful for images),
+- `bundlebee-base64-decode-file:<file path>`: decode the file from a base64 content,
 - `bundlebee-base64:<text>`: encodes in base64 the text,
+- `bundlebee-base64-decode:<text>`: decode from base64 to text the value `text`,
 - `bundlebee-digest:BASE64|HEX,<algorithm>,<text>`: computes the digest of the text encoded in base64 or hexa format (useful to read files like `ConfigMap` or `Secret` and inject their digest value in a `Deployment` annotations to force its reload for example),
 - `bundlebee-quote-escaped-inline-file:<file path>`: load the file content as a quoted value,
 - `bundlebee-json-inline-file:<file path>`: load the file content as a JSON string value - without quotes,
