Display variable content with html tags in EJS

Question

I just started using a text editor on my page and I'm saving the data in mongoDB, so the data will contain html tags and It'll looks something like this <b>test</b>

I'm using basicaly bootstrap for my front-end, and I'd like to show the information of that variable in my html page.

if I display something like this:

js:

 event.information = '<b>test</b>'

.html or .ejs:

<p><%= event.information %></p>

Current view:

It's showing the data with the html tags e not the actual "effect" of the tag

<b>test</b>

View (that I want):

test

I just want to the page render my <%= event.information %> correctly and using the html tags to format the content and not display the html tags.

Answer 1

Use

<p><%- event.information %></p>

instead of

<p><%= event.information %></p>

inside of your ejs file

<%- Outputs the unescaped value into the template.
