Rails and Ruby People,

I have some data which I want to present to my end-users.

The data is structured as a simple tree-like thing.

I could easily render it as a well structured YAML file.

I’m looking for a class or module which generates elegant looking  
HTML from a YAML file.

I’m about to wander around in rubyforge in search of such a utility.

Alert me if you know of something I might find useful.

Here are some URLs which give a general idea of what I’m looking for:

If I find anything, I’ll followup-post.

Thanks,
