Might you be looking for something like Webby?

<http://webby.rubyforge.org/>

It's a tool for generating HTML files from other text files containing  
markup (textile, markdown, haml, or HTML with embedded Ruby). It  
includes the Heel webserver for displaying local pages after they are  
rendered. Read through the Webby tutorial and see if that meets your  
needs.
