For a text file, a raw table is included straight up: $ echo "<table><tr><td>1<td>2<tr><td>3<td>4</table>" > blah.txt $ rdoc blah.txt [...] $ grep -A4 documentation doc/blah.txt.html <div id="documentation"> <p> <table><tr><td>1<td>2<tr><td>3<td>4</table> </p> For a .rb file, this should do what you want: $ cat blah.rb # <table> # <tr><td>1<td>2 # <tr><td>3<td>4 # </table> class X end
