I guess I wasn't clear enough about what I want to do.

A. I want to match this:
<h3>Wants to do 1 thing</h3>

B. but this is also ok because it's essentially the same thing in html:
<h3>Wants to do
1
thing</h3>

If I have
  assert_select 'h3', Regexp.new("Wants to do 1 thing".gsub!(/\s+/, ' '))
or
  assert_select 'h3', "Wants to do 1 thing"
they will fail on B.
