Given an HTML email, I’m using the following to strip down to just the text:
body = body.gsub(/\\r\\n?/, "\n");
body = body.gsub(/\\n\\n?/, "\n");
body = simple_format(body)
body = strip_tags(body)
But I’m now seeing that one tag gets passed this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\">
Which outputs like so:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
Any ideas why?
I ended up using Hpricot to text, worked great
