NodeJS Ejs Variable Render HTML

You can output variables using ejs like so

PagesController.test = function() {
  this.title = 'test'
  this.render();
}

<title><%= title %></title>

However I tried including html in the variable and it just displays it as text. Is it possible to make it render as html?

You need this construct:

<%- title %>

That won't escape the contents of the title variable.
