I have use hpricot to translate users’ input html. I want to remove  
bogusetag as follows:

> > doc = Hpricot "
> > 
> > test world
> > 
> > ", :xhtml\_strict =\> true  
> > =\>#\<Hpricot::Doc {elem 
> > 
> > " test world" {bogusetag }
> > 
> > }\>
> 
> > doc.to\_s  
> > =\>"
> > 
> > test world
> > 
> > "

what I expected is “

test world

” without bogusetag , is it  
possible?

Haven’t tried it, but you may want to look into the :fixup\_tags  
option.
