Look at the work in Ruwiki's templating engine. It's based on the RDoc
templating engine. Both work well with web pages but are not
restricted to web pages. The Ruwiki modifications to that engine are
perhaps more appropriate to non-webpage items because I did some work
to make sure that single-line replacements work very well.

It should be extractable, but I haven't taken the time to do so as a
separate download.
