Nokogiri: to_s WITHOUT html surrounding's tags?

rubyonrails-talk

n = Nokogiri::HTML("<h1>H1</h1>") n.to_s # => <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd\\&quot;&gt;\\n&lt;html&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;h1&gt;H1&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;

Is there a method that only outputs the stuff I've read, and not the whole valid XHTML stuff?

Well, it's not XHTML, if you note the doctype :slight_smile: but ...

Needed output: <h1>H1</h1>

n = Nokogiri::HTML("<h1>H1</h1>").xpath('//h1').to_xml

=> "<h1>H1</h1>"

I would think that'd be pretty apparent from a glance at the examples in the rdoc, btw. Just sayin' :slight_smile:
