encoding passed variable in ejs template

[bazjapan]

When using jade to encode the variable passed I'd do something like !variable_name;

What would be the equivalent using an ejs template, I'm trying to stringyfy some data and keep getting ampersands.

<script id="info" type="object/json"><%= JSON.stringify(info) %></script>

<%- wont escape
