How do I remove a node with Nokogiri?

Question

How can I remove tags using Nokogiri?

I have the following code but it wont work:

# str = \'

        

Answer 1

I prefer CSS over XPath, as it's usually much more readable. Switching to CSS:

require 'nokogiri'

doc = Nokogiri::HTML('')

After parsing the document looks like:

doc.to_html
# => "\n\n\n\n"

Removing the tags:

doc.search('img').each do |src|
  src.remove
end

Results in:

doc.to_html
# => "\n\n"
