+## An Hpricot Showcase
 
 We're going to run through a big pile of examples to get you jump-started.
 Many of these examples are also found at
 http://wiki.github.com/hpricot/hpricot/hpricot-basics, in case you
 want to add some of your own.
 
-=== Loading Hpricot Itself
+### Loading Hpricot Itself
 
 You have probably got the gem, right?  To load Hpricot:
 
- require 'rubygems'
- require 'hpricot'
+    require 'rubygems'
+    require 'hpricot'
 
 If you've installed the plain source distribution, go ahead and just:
 
- require 'hpricot'
+    require 'hpricot'
 
-=== Load an HTML Page
+### Load an HTML Page
 
 The <tt>Hpricot()</tt> method takes a string or any IO object and loads the
 contents into a document object.
 
- doc = Hpricot("<p>A simple <b>test</b> string.</p>")
+    doc = Hpricot("<p>A simple <b>test</b> string.</p>")
 
 To load from a file, just get the stream open:
 
- doc = open("index.html") { |f| Hpricot(f) }
+    doc = open("index.html") { |f| Hpricot(f) }
 
 To load from a web URL, use <tt>open-uri</tt>, which comes with Ruby:
 
- require 'open-uri'
- doc = open("http://qwantz.com/") { |f| Hpricot(f) }
+    require 'open-uri'
+    doc = open("http://qwantz.com/") { |f| Hpricot(f) }
 
 Hpricot uses an internal buffer to parse the file, so the IO will stream
 properly and large documents won't be loaded into memory all at once.  However,
 the parsed document object will be present in memory, in its entirety.
 
-=== Search for Elements
+### Search for Elements
 
 Use <tt>Doc.search</tt>:
 
- doc.search("//p[@class='posted']")
- #=> #<Hpricot:Elements[{p ...}, {p ...}]>
+    doc.search("//p[@class='posted']")
+    #=> #<Hpricot:Elements[{p ...}, {p ...}]>
 
 <tt>Doc.search</tt> can take an XPath or CSS expression.  In the above example,
 all paragraph <tt><p></tt> elements are grabbed which have a <tt>class</tt>
 attribute of <tt>"posted"</tt>.
 
 A shortcut is to use the divisor:
 
- (doc/"p.posted")
- #=> #<Hpricot:Elements[{p ...}, {p ...}]>
+    (doc/"p.posted")
+    #=> #<Hpricot:Elements[{p ...}, {p ...}]>
 
-=== Finding Just One Element
+### Finding Just One Element
 
 If you're looking for a single element, the <tt>at</tt> method will return the
 first element matched by the expression.  In this case, you'll get back the
 element itself rather than the <tt>Hpricot::Elements</tt> array.
 
- doc.at("body")['onload']
+    doc.at("body")['onload']
 
 The above code will find the body tag and give you back the <tt>onload</tt>
 attribute.  This is the most common reason to use the element directly: when
 reading and writing HTML attributes.
 
-=== Fetching the Contents of an Element
+### Fetching the Contents of an Element
 
 Just as with browser scripting, the <tt>inner_html</tt> property can be used to
 get the inner contents of an element.
 
- (doc/"#elementID").inner_html
- #=> "..<b>contents</b>.."
+    (doc/"#elementID").inner_html
+    #=> "..contents.."
 
 If your expression matches more than one element, you'll get back the contents
 of ''all the matched elements''.  So you may want to use <tt>first</tt> to be
 sure you get back only one.
 
- (doc/"#elementID").first.inner_html
- #=> "..<b>contents</b>.."
+    (doc/"#elementID").first.inner_html
+    #=> "..contents.."
 
-=== Fetching the HTML for an Element
+### Fetching the HTML for an Element
 
 If you want the HTML for the whole element (not just the contents), use
 <tt>to_html</tt>:
 
- (doc/"#elementID").to_html
- #=> "<div id='elementID'>...</div>"
+    (doc/"#elementID").to_html
+    #=> "<div id='elementID'>...</div>"
 
-=== Looping
+### Looping
 
 All searches return a set of <tt>Hpricot::Elements</tt>.  Go ahead and loop
 through them like you would an array.
 
- (doc/"p/a/img").each do |img|
-   puts img.attributes['class']
- end
+    (doc/"p/a/img").each do |img|
+      puts img.attributes['class']
+    end
 
-=== Continuing Searches
+### Continuing Searches
 
 Searches can be continued from a collection of elements, in order to search deeper.
 
- # find all paragraphs.
- elements = doc.search("/html/body//p")
- # continue the search by finding any images within those paragraphs.
- (elements/"img")
- #=> #<Hpricot::Elements[{img ...}, {img ...}]>
+    # find all paragraphs.
+    elements = doc.search("/html/body//p")
+    # continue the search by finding any images within those paragraphs.
+    (elements/"img")
+    #=> #<Hpricot::Elements[{img ...}, {img ...}]>
 
 Searches can also be continued by searching within container elements.
 
- # find all images within paragraphs.
- doc.search("/html/body//p").each do |para|
-   puts "== Found a paragraph =="
-   pp para
+    # find all images within paragraphs.
+    doc.search("/html/body//p").each do |para|
+      puts "== Found a paragraph =="
+      pp para
 
-   imgs = para.search("img")
-   if imgs.any?
-     puts "== Found #{imgs.length} images inside =="
-   end
- end
+      imgs = para.search("img")
+      if imgs.any?
+        puts "== Found #{imgs.length} images inside =="
+      end
+    end
 
 Of course, the most succinct ways to do the above are using CSS or XPath.
 
- # the xpath version
- (doc/"/html/body//p//img")
- # the css version
- (doc/"html > body > p img")
- # ..or symbols work, too!
- (doc/:html/:body/:p/:img)
+    # the xpath version
+    (doc/"/html/body//p//img")
+    # the css version
+    (doc/"html > body > p img")
+    # ..or symbols work, too!
+    (doc/:html/:body/:p/:img)
 
-=== Looping Edits
+### Looping Edits
 
 You may certainly edit objects from within your search loops.  Then, when you
 spit out the HTML, the altered elements will show.
 
- (doc/"span.entryPermalink").each do |span|
-   span.attributes['class'] = 'newLinks'
- end
- puts doc
+
+    (doc/"span.entryPermalink").each do |span|
+      span.attributes['class'] = 'newLinks'
+    end
+    puts doc
 
 This changes all <tt>span.entryPermalink</tt> elements to
 <tt>span.newLinks</tt>.  Keep in mind that there are often more convenient ways
 of doing this.  Such as the <tt>set</tt> method:
 
- (doc/"span.entryPermalink").set(:class => 'newLinks')
+    (doc/"span.entryPermalink").set(:class => 'newLinks')
 
-=== Figuring Out Paths
+### Figuring Out Paths
 
 Every element can tell you its unique path (either XPath or CSS) to get to the
 element from the root tag.
 
 The <tt>css_path</tt> method:
 
- doc.at("div > div:nth(1)").css_path
-   #=> "div > div:nth(1)" 
- doc.at("#header").css_path
-   #=> "#header" 
+    doc.at("div > div:nth(1)").css_path
+      #=> "div > div:nth(1)" 
+    doc.at("#header").css_path
+      #=> "#header" 
 
 Or, the <tt>xpath</tt> method:
 
- doc.at("div > div:nth(1)").xpath
-   #=> "/div/div:eq(1)" 
- doc.at("#header").xpath
-   #=> "//div[@id='header']" 
+    doc.at("div > div:nth(1)").xpath
+      #=> "/div/div:eq(1)" 
+    doc.at("#header").xpath
+      #=> "//div[@id='header']"
