Description
Sometimes in unit tests one have to check the presence of a string in a HTML output. Sometimes pyquery is pertinent for that, but not always. When a test is looking for a string in HTML and it fails, it would be nice to display a formatted HTML so developers can easily see what is wrong.
The beautifoulsoup prettify method does this. I suggest to prettify the output, by default or as an option.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by tracing how failed HTML string assertions are reported in WebTest's test helpers, then compare whether formatting should be enabled by default or exposed as an option; done means the failure output is formatted without breaking existing assertions.
