The following is a question, if I got it wrong, and a code snippet if I didn't.

To add nokogiri to a Merb project's Cucumber featurizer, I...

Added it to features/support/env.rb:

   require "merb-core"
   require "spec"
   require "merb_cucumber/world/simple"
   require 'nokogiri'  # <-- with the correct style of quote 'ticks'!

Added its calls to features/steps/result_steps.rb

   When /^you go to (.*)/ do |text|
     @response = request(text)
     @xdoc = Nokogiri::HTML(@response.body.to_s)
   end

   Then /^you should see an? (.+) element$/ do |searcher|
     @xdoc.css(searcher).should_not be_nil
   end

Called its steps from features/comics.feature:

   Feature: serve webcomics

     Scenario: root page
       When you go to /
       Then you should see an img.comic element

The result is the usual bunch of pale green. (But note that I personally suck at 
writing customer-facing verbiage. They don't care if they see an img with a 
class of comic! They want to see a comic image! More verbiage tuning is in order...)

Also note that I suck at writing RSpec matchers. The point of all this is clear 
error messages at fault time, and my .should_not be_nil is also not particularly 
exemplary!

So thanks for the lib! it's going to the top of my list from now on...
