I haven't really used it much, but you might look into erb (or eruby).
It works like php or jsp: you write html containing embedded Ruby code
(an .rhtml file), and when you pass it through erb, the code gets
executed while the .rhtml file is being processed. A standard Ruby
install comes with erb. See the PickAxe for documentation on it.

erb: Comes with Ruby, written in Ruby.
eruby: Written in C (http://www.modruby.net/en/index.rbx/eruby/whatis.html).
