Ah, thank you. It seems that Ruby is parsing that string after getting 
last \s down there. But shouldn't \3 insert it right back? :)

Anyways, I have another problem then ;]
it "should link http links" do
  "http://www.myspace.com/djmamania".htmlize.should == \
     '<p><a 
href="http://www.myspace.com/djmamania">www.myspace.com/djmamania</a></p>'
end

2)
'String#htmlize should link http links' FAILED
expected: "<p><a 
href=\"http://www.myspace.com/djmamania\">www.myspace.com/djmam
ania</a></p>",
     got: "<p>http://<a 
href=\"http://www.myspace.com/djmamania\">www.myspace.com/djmamania</a></p>" 
(using ==)

What do you suggest?
