I am trying to return a string with Apex tags, but the pointy brackets (<, > ) are being encoded to &lt; and &gt;.


    Example:
    public String getNavString() {
        return '<apex: outputLink value="http://www.google.com/">Google</apex: outputLink>';
    }

    Resulting HTML:
    &lt;apex: outputLink value="http://www.google.com/"&gt;Google&lt;/apex: outputLink&gt;

    Expected HTML:
    <apex: outputLink value="http://www.google.com/">Google</apex: outputLink>

  

Is there a way to make sure that the tag characters are not encoded?

Thank you!
