I’d like to generate HTML in a console application and I found
[http://amrita.sourceforge.jp](http://amrita.sourceforge.jp)
Can you give me other alternatives?
Thanks in advance.

RedCloth (gem install RedCloth) comes to mind.

This may be obvious, but since you can view a html page just as a
long string, you can generate it in plain ruby too on your own just as
well.
One problem amrita might have compared therein is that the html data
must pre-exist statically, and can not be generated via amrita.
