title: Can't make Scrapy / Xpath take note of double <br>
body: <p>I'm trying to use scrapy to crawl some poems and i have this text:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,&lt;br&gt;  
  consectetuer adipiscing elit.&lt;br&gt; 
  &lt;br&gt; 
  Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor.&lt;br&gt; 
  Aenean massa
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And i select it's xpath with scrapy like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>In [1]: sel.xpath('//div[@class="box"]/text()').extract()
  Out[1]:
  [u'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,',
   u'consectetuer adipiscing elit.',
   u'Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor.',
   u'Aenean massa',]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can i make it so it doesn't ignore the extra br ?</p>
