How to escape ejs tag within a string?

[anhlu8]

<%
   let myString = "this is a string %> with special characters";
   let myOtherString = "this is a string <% with special characters";
   // Do something
%>

I need to use these special characters in my JS string <% and/or %> . But EJS template would return errors: Could not find matching close tag for "<%" or SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token while compiling ejs for %>

How should I go about this?

See https://github.com/mde/ejs/blob/master/docs/syntax.md#literal-tags for details. In your example, you would write:

<%
   let myString = "this is a string %%> with special characters";
   let myOtherString = "this is a string <%% with special characters";
   // Do something
%>
