So I have this <a> tag in a xml file
<a href="/www.somethinggggg.com">Something 123</a>
My desired result is to use Nokogiri and completely remove its tag so it is no longer a clickable link e.g
Something 123
My attempt:
content = Nokogiri::XML.fragment(page_content)
content.search('.//a').remove
But this removes the text too.
Any suggestions on how to achieve my desired result using Nokogiri?

Generic way to unwrap tag is — node.replace(node.children), eg.:
doc = Nokogiri::HTML.fragment('<div>A<i>B</i>C</div>')
doc.css('div').each { |node| node.replace(node.children) }
doc.inner_html #=> "A<i>B</i>C"
Here is what I would do :
require 'nokogiri'
doc = Nokogiri::HTML.parse <<-eot
<a href="/www.somethinggggg.com">Something 123</a>
eot
node = doc.at("a")
node.replace(node.text)
puts doc.to_html
output
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org
/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html>
<body>Something 123</body>
</html>
Update
What if I have an array that holds content with links?
Hint
require 'nokogiri'
doc = Nokogiri::HTML.parse <<-eot
<a href="/www.foo.com">foo</a>
<a href="/www.bar.com">bar</a>
<a href="/www.baz.com">baz</a>
eot
arr = %w(foo bar baz)
nodes = doc.search("a")
nodes.each {|node| node.replace(node.content) if arr.include?(node.content) }
puts doc.to_html
output
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org
/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html>
<body>foo
bar
baz
</body>
</html>
