I am looking for a Ruby markup parser (or helper) to convert a custom markup language to HTML. Something like Decoda does in the PHP world (see $code->addMarkup() function). Is there a good tool in the Ruby world?

As I wrote ... I am more looking for helpers parsing my own custom markup.

Happy to be educated otherwise, but I'm afraid I don't think such a thing exists - someone would have had to have needed a parser (or parser-generator, perhaps) for multiple unspecified future markup languages. Probably not a need that's been experienced very often. Or ever.
However, if your language is fairly regular, I don't see that it's going to be too much more of a task to build your own parser using tools that are available.
Some places you might start:
