[FIXED] Scrapy: Extract HTML as string inside Element

Issue

I want to extract HTML inside a dic. For example in this piece of HTML:

<div id="main"><h1><xyz>Title<xyz></h1></div>

I want to extract div content: <h1><xyz>Title<xyz></h1> as a string. Is that possible with CSS o Xpath scrapy selectors?

Thanks :)

Solution

Solution with css selector is not possible, but pretty simple with xpath:

desired_str = selector.xpath("//div[@id='main']").extract()
