Using ejs to create a xml file, can I use parse a string into XML

Question

I'm trying to generate a xml file using ejs. I have a string containing a part of this XML, while the rest of it is generated directly in the ejs.

Is there a way to directly put my string into the xml, so that the string is considered like a part of the xml?

I tried adding my string "brutally" with <%=string%>, but it does not recognise most of the symbols; for example, < becomes <

Thank you!

There is an answer to a very similar question here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8125053/2494631

Essentially, use <%- %> instead of <%= %> to output unescaped XML/HTML.

i used

replace(/&lt;/g,'<').replace(/&gt;/g,'>').replace(/&amp;/g,'&')

but, this might not be what your looking for.
