How to send res.render string parameter and render it as HTML?

I'm trying to send html string as a res.render() parameter and render it as html in the client-side. How do I get the browser to recognize it as html instead of just as a string? Can this be done?

home.hbs

<div id="results">
  {{#each results}}
    <p>{{this}}</p>
  {{/each}}
</div>

server.js

app.get('\', (req,res) => {
  let results = ['<mark>This</mark> is highlighted.']
  res.render('home', {results: results});
})

In my webpage, I want it to look like a paragraph where the word 'This' is highlighted (because of <mark>) but instead it shows up as <mark>This</mark> is highlighted. where This is not highlighted and the mark tags are plain text.

use "triple-stash" to cancel html escape functionality.
