TFHpple - Get the HTML element without element tags?

I'm parsing some HTML and I need to get all the innerHTML of <body />. I'm doing it this way:

TFHpple *doc = [[TFHpple alloc] initWithHTMLData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:sectionFilePath]];
TFHppleElement *body = [doc searchWithXPathQuery:@"//body"][0];

NSString *bodyHTML  = body.raw;

However this returns:

<body>stuff inside body</body>

instead of just:

stuff inside body

Question: Is there any way to get the purely the inner HTML of an element, excluding its own tags?

I came up with this method, but I feel like I'm reinventing the wheel here. This method is also quite slow.

TFHppleElement *child;
for(int i = 0; i<body.children.count; i++){
    child = (TFHppleElement*)body.children[i];

    if(child.raw != nil) [bodyHTML appendString:child.raw];
    else if(child.content != nil) [bodyHTML appendString:child.content];
}

Try this...

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString: URL_HERE];
NSData *htmlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];

TFHpple *parser = [TFHpple hppleWithHTMLData:htmlData];

NSString *xpathQueryString = @"//body";
NSArray *nodes = [parser searchWithXPathQuery:xpathQueryString];

for (TFHppleElement *element in nodes) {

    lable.text = [[element firstChild] content];
}
