I know EXACTLY what you're looking for :-)

These are all engines to create STATIC sites - no knowledge of  
anything required

* nanoc - http://nanoc.stoneship.org/
	Awesome tool for creating static websites - just the pages and ruby,  
nothing else :-)
* staticmatic - http://staticmatic.rubyforge.org/
	Ruby + Haml + Sass
* hobix - http://hobix.com/
	suitable replacement for hallucinogens
* webby - http://webby.rubyforge.org/
	redcloth as markup

Personally, I enjoy nanoc and staticmatic. There are still more  
listed in the nanoc manual http://nanoc.stoneship.org/help/manual/ 
chapter-1/#similar-projects
