Bypassing

There are certain webpages(mostly .edu websites) which do not need readability cleaning. Rather they are already in the best form. Such articles could bypass cleaning by feeding the :bypass parameter as true. By deafault, it would be false.

DQReadability::Document.new(source,:tags=>%w[div pre p], :attributes=>%w[href src], :bypass=>true).content

Math Equations

For webpages containing math equations and codes powered by MATHJAX, the :math parameter could be turned true. By default, it would be false.
