WHy is awesome_print gem showing <br /> in rspec output

Question

I'm getting this output from ap, in my rspec test

"line1"<br />
"line2"<br />
"city"<br />
"state"<br />
"zip"<br />
"country"<br />

It is not because of the :html option, because when that's on it looks like:

&lt;pre>&lt;kbd style="color:brown">&quot;line1&quot;&lt;/kbd>&lt;/pre><br />
&lt;pre>&lt;kbd style="color:brown">&quot;line2&quot;&lt;/kbd>&lt;/pre><br />
&lt;pre>&lt;kbd style="color:brown">&quot;city&quot;&lt;/kbd>&lt;/pre><br />
&lt;pre>&lt;kbd style="color:brown">&quot;state&quot;&lt;/kbd>&lt;/pre><br />
&lt;pre>&lt;kbd style="color:brown">&quot;zip&quot;&lt;/kbd>&lt;/pre><br />
&lt;pre>&lt;kbd style="color:brown">&quot;country&quot;&lt;/kbd>&lt;/pre><br />
