There's no isTextPresent in Selenium 2 (WebDriver)

What is the correct way to assert the existence of some text on a page with WebDriver?

Answer

I normally do something along the lines of:

assertEquals(driver.getPageSource().contains("sometext"), true);

assertTrue(driver.getPageSource().contains("sometext"));
