If I understand you correctly, that is ECS:
<http://java.apache.org/ecs/>
Html htmlTag = new Html();
htmlTag.toString();
That produces:
<html></html>
You can get even more complicated:
Html htmlTag = new Html();
htmlTag.addElement ( new Head().addElement( new Body() ) );
htmlTag.toString();
That produces:
<html><head><body></body></head></html>
A 100% Pure Java solution that also happens to be Open Source.

You can easily serialize all the ECS elements. You could serialize an entire
ECS Document object to disk, read it back in, change a few elements and off
you go.
Of course both of these examples require you to be able to write code. What
you want is something a bit easier. IMHO, solutions like WebMacro and
FreeMarker and JSP really are not that difficult, even for new people.
