Pretty Print HTML in Ruby (or Shell)

Is there any way to pretty print an HTML or XML string from the command line on a mac? Trying to do this in Ruby. Any ideas? I've thought about XSLT, and about writing my own parser, but both of those are pretty involved. Looking for something already out there.

In shells, another option is to use pup without arguments:

pup

XmlStarlet also supports using an HTML parser. fo is short for format. See xml fo -h for help.

xml fo --html

The main implementation of tidy does not support HTML5 but tidy-html5 does. brew install tidy-html5 installs tidy-html5 as /usr/local/bin/tidy in OS X.
