Htmltools and (un)escaped entities

ruby-talk
1

require 'html/stparser’
require ‘html/element’

class MyParser < HTML::StackingParser
def handle_cdata(data)
puts data
end
end

p = MyParser.new
p.feed(“John & Mary”)

The snippet above outputs this:

John
&
Mary

Is there a way to keep the ampersand (or entities in general)
unescaped, so that it will still print a ‘&’?
