How to check html tag with Rspec

I'm learning from this site. I tested the following with rspec, and it passed.

  describe "About page" do
    it "should have the content 'About Us'" do
      visit '/static_pages/about'
      expect(page).to have_content('About Us')
    end
  end

I changed About Us to <h1>About Us</h1> to check whether it works as I expected, but the test fails even when about.html.erb has the string <h1>About Us</h1>. Could you show me how I can use html tag expression in rspec file?

If I understand you correctly you would like to check that the page has text 'About Us' in tag h1. You can use rich Capybara functionality.

For example you can use within

within('h1') do
  expect(page).to have_content('About Us')
end

There are another ways for example use css-selectors or xpath
