Rajinder,
    there are quite a few options, but Haml is definitely the most popular
of the alternatives.
By alternative, I mean it in the sense that you implied - that it changes
how you construct
HTML. There are some alternatives to Erb, like Erubis, that make your
rendering faster,
but you are still using Erb syntax (HTML with ruby code in escapes).

Markaby was an earlier attempt to accomplish the same things as Haml, though
I think
Haml has stolen its marketshare. There are also probably a few plugins that
let you use
Markdown or Textile syntax for your HTML authoring.

You might want to check out Webby to see some options. Its a static site
generator,
but it has support for a whole laundry list of templating options.

regards,
Richard
