title: How to extract raw html from a Scrapy selector?
body: <p>I'm extracting js data using response.xpath('//*')re_first() and later converting it to python native data. The problem is extract/re methods don't seem to provide a way to not unquote html i.e.</p>
  
  <p>original html:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{my_fields:['O&amp;#39;Connor Park'], }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>extract output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{my_fields:['O'Connor Park'], }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>turning this output into json won't work.</p>
  
  <p>What's the easiest way around it?</p>
