Reading html content with without escaping?

Question

I am trying to read the html content using innerHTML. It seems to convert the '<' in the text content to '<' .

I would rather not to. Is there anything in JS that would allow me to render as such

Answer 1

Lodash supports an unescape() function that does this.

For example,

// This reads < as &lt;
let html = document.querySelector('.el').innerHTML
// This converts the &lt; back into <
html = _.unescape(html)
