Looking for HTML templating system

Thanks Kirk,
I’m browsing through Rubyforge now and discovering quite a bit.

Hi,
I’m a Ruby newbie.

I’ve been curious about what Ruby frameworks exist. I’ve googled and
found Amrita; are there any others?

Frameworks are necessary but they can be a little over zealous. One
of the reasons I’m enjoying learning Ruby is that I’m from a Java
background; imho, the J2EE world falls into confusion from a glut of
frameworks.

There are oodles of them.

Off the top of my head, Amrita, Cerise, Iowa, Borges, CGIkit, SWS, and one
that I am forgetting the name of that was posted about a week or so ago –
it takes templates and data and generates code (Ruby, PHP, several other
languages possible) to generate the HTML.

That’s not all of them, though.

Amrita and CGIkit have the widest userbases, I think. Iowa probably has
the smallest of that list, though I have sites and applications under it
ranging from a handful of lines in a couple of files to large things with
a couple hundred thousand lines.
