Insert HTML into view from AngularJS controller

Is it possible to create an HTML fragment in an AngularJS controller and have this HTML shown in the view?

This comes from a requirement to turn an inconsistent JSON blob into a nested list of id: value pairs. Therefore the HTML is created in the controller and I am now looking to display it.

I have created a model property, but cannot render this in the view without it just printing the HTML.


Update

It appears that the problem arises from angular rendering the created HTML as a string within quotes. Will attempt to find a way around this.

Example controller :

var SomeController = function () {

    this.customHtml = '<ul><li>render me please</li></ul>';
}

Example view :

<div ng:bind="customHtml"></div>

Gives :

<div>
    "<ul><li>render me please</li></ul>"
</div>
