I want to create on the fly a golang template file in GitHub Actions.

So I am doing more or less the following:

  - name: create the template
      shell: bash
      run: |
        cat <<EOF > myfile.tpl
        {{- if . }}
        {{- range . }}
        <h3>Target <code>{{ escapeXML .Target }}</code></h3>
        {{- if (eq (len .Vulnerabilities) 0) }}
        <h4>No Vulnerabilities found</h4>
        .
        .
        {{- end }}
        EOF

However, apart from the fact that I get errors when trying to use it, when I cat it I get the following

******- if . ******
******- range . ******
<h3>Target <code>*** escapeXML .Target ***</code></h3>
******- if (eq (len .Vulnerabilities) 0) ******
<h4>No Vulnerabilities found</h4>

What is the proper way of going about it?
