</div>

when I parse html file and capture the elements, hpricot automatically  
fixes the issues and shows the results.

so if html source code has

 This title is formatted wrong 

puts doc.at(“title”).to\_html shows

This title is formatted wrong 

What I want to do is capture the actual text and tags as they are, is  
there any method in hpricot that does that or is there another parser i  
can use for this purpose.

Thanks a bunch!
