Hi all,
Is there some way to make Nokogiri NOT convert HTML entities and just
leave them alone? Here's the situation:
>> text = "<html><body>foo—bar</body></html>";
>> @doc = Nokogiri.parse(text)
=> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html><body>foo—bar</body></html>
I'd like this to leave the em-dash as — and can't seem to find
anything in the documentation about how to make Nokogiri do so.

Howdy.
I'm guessing that you're running on libxml 2.6.x. Try upgrading to libxml 2.7.2 or later.
