I was looking around for a decent template system, and RDoc's fit the
bill for me, almost.  I had some perfectly good objects lying around
with perfectly good methods on them, and didn't want to go through the
extra (tedious) step of converting them all to Hash/Array combinations,
so I did this to (a prior version of) RDoc's template system:

http://segment7.net/ruby-code/template/template.rb
(more/better description there)

and tests:

http://segment7.net/ruby-code/template/TC_template.rb

NOTES:
My version is faster, mainly because I don't use an Array to build=20
up a temporary object, but you can't write onto anything but a string.
I haven't bothered to attempt to fix this yet (it hasn't been a
problem for me).

My version has slightly different syntax for iteration (FOREACH/ENDEACH),
due to the addition of WITH/ENDWITH.
