How do i display these formated text without HTML tags

Question

I am using CKeditor 4 to format text and store it in a database with Node.js and MySQL. The data type i used to store this is TEXT. Everything is fine until it is stored in the database.
The problem is when i retrieve the text from the database and try to display it using an EJS variable as follows:

<%=result.FormatedText%>

the browser displays the content in the EJS variable like this:

<p><strong>This is a random text i typed</strong></p> <ol> <li>First item</li> <li>Second item</li> <li>third item</li> </ol> <p>&nbsp;</p>

but I want to display it like this:

This is a random text i typed

First item

Second item

third item

How can I solve this?

Change this:

<%= result.FormatedText %>

To this:

<%- result.FormatedText %>

It outputs the unescaped value, the browser could now render it.

Check the documentation.
