Concatenate list items into a property value with quoted spaces

Given a string $prefix=Note and a list $attributes = a b c what SCSS loop will produce this? —



 ::before {content: "Note " attr(a) " " attr(b) " " attr(c)}


This earlier post (concatenate strings using sass) has gotten me close, but I still cannot get it right.



EDIT



This sort of works, but I do not know why.



note {
$attributes: a b c;
$pre: '' "Note";
$space: '' " ";
&::before {
$content: $pre;
@each $attribute in $attributes {
$content: $content + $space + " attr(" + $attribute + ")";
};
content: #{$content};
}
}


It produces



note::before {
content: "" "Note""" " " attr(a)"" " " attr(b)"" " " attr(c);
}


which the browser will handle correctly since it ignores the "".



But it is a not-understood hack. What is the right way to do this?

          Interesting string indeed! You could try this way.



          note {
          $attributes: a b c;
          $pre: 'Note';
          $space:"' '";
          &::before {
          $content:"";
          @each $attribute in $attributes {
          $content: $content + $space + attr($attribute);
          }
          content:$pre #{$content};
          }
          }
