Subject: rexml: generating tree from source

Hello out there,

I try to parse some xml-text with rexml:

--------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'rexml/document'
include REXML


str=<<EOS
<a><b>text with <illegal characters> </b></a>
EOS

# d=Document.new(str) #  barks because < and >
s=Source.new(str)   
# I thought that this would give me some output
puts Element.new(s)   #->  </>
--------------------------------------------------

What I'd like to have is a representation of 

element: a
   element: b
   text:    "text with &lt;illegal characters&gt; "


Any possibility?

Thanks,

Patrick
