Jim:

How about this, which converts a file on stdin to HTML on stdout:

   require 'markup/simple_markup'
   require 'markup/simple_markup/to_html'

   markup = SM::SimpleMarkup.new
   html   = SM::ToHtml.new
   puts markup.convert(ARGF.read, html)

Of course the fun comes when you add your own special sequences to the 
parsers (for example to handle hyperlinking and other good stuff). There 
are examples of doing this in RDoc and RubLog.

Cheers
