jquery - ng-click not working from dynamically generated HTML

Question

HTML

<table data-ng-table="tableParams" class="table table-bordered table-hover " style="border-collapse:collapse" data-ng-init="host.editSave = false" >
    <tr id="newTransaction">
    </tr>
    <tr data-ng-repeat="host in hosts|filter:search:strict" >
       <td class="hostTableCols" data-ng-hide="host.editSave">{{host.hostCd}}</td>
       <td class="hostTableCols" data-ng-hide="host.editSave">{{host.hostName}}</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Jquery

$('#newTransaction').append(
 '<td contenteditable><input type="text" class="editBox" value=""/></td>'+ 
 '<td contenteditable><input type="text" class="editBox" value=""/></td>'+
 '<td>'+
    '<span>'+
        '<button id="createHost" class="btn btn-mini btn-success" data-ng-click="create()"><b>Create</b></button>'+
    '</span>'+
 '</td>'
);

Angular Script

$scope.create = function() {
       alert("Hi");
    };

Here the function called in the controller part of the AngularJS is not getting trigger from the ng-click event. The Html is getting appended successfully, but the ng-click is not working. Tell me solutions to make it work

Not a perfect fix, still!!! - just to show how dynamic compilation can be done

app.controller('AppController', function ($scope, $compile) {

    var $el = $('<td contenteditable><input type="text" class="editBox" value=""/></td>' +
        '<td contenteditable><input type="text" class="editBox" value=""/></td>' +
        '<td>' +
        '<span>' +
        '<button id="createHost" class="btn btn-mini btn-success" data-ng-click="create()"><b>Create</b></button>' +
        '</span>' +
        '</td>').appendTo('#newTransaction');
    $compile($el)($scope);

    $scope.create = function(){
        console.log('clicked')
    }
})

Demo: Fiddle

Don't use controller for dom manipulation - it has to be done with the help of directives
