I am trying to replace a <blockquote> tag with text in an HTMl document.

  • 0

I am trying to replace a <blockquote> tag with text in an HTMl document. I started off using Nokogiri to do this. The problem is the HTML I pass to Nokogiri contains text like <my_mail@gmail.com> which nokogiri considers as a tag. The output is all screwed because Nokogiri tries to correct the “tag” by adding </my_mail> to the html doc.

Any ideas how to turn off this auto correction in Nokogiri or are there any other gems I can use to do this without screwing the output?

    You can escape < and > around mail before sending string to Nokogiri.

    >> "<html><body><my_mail@gmail.com></body></html>".gsub(/<([^<]+@[^>]+)>/,'&lt;\1&gt;')
    => "<html><body>&lt;my_mail@gmail.com&gt;</body></html>"
