Sorry, I've not used jgnat, but I was thinking about deployment.

Client side:
-----------
Assuming that jgnat's output is JARable bytecode, JApplet is a 
reasonable choice, but an application distributed via Java Web Start 
should work, too. Here's a hybrid example:

JEditorPane with setEditable(false) is a convenient container for 
simple markup (~HTML 3.2).

Server side:
-----------

If a hosted servlet container is available, here's a simple Java 
servlet that sends the standard output of a command via an 
HttpServletResponse:

Hosted applications at SourceForge include Trac. I'm not sure if you 
can add your own wiki macro or if gnat is installed; but here's an 
example, analogous to the servlet above, that invokes fortune:

from trac.wiki.macros import WikiMacroBase
import commands

class FortuneMacro(WikiMacroBase):
    """ Return a random fortune. """
    revision = "$Rev$"
    url = "$URL$"

    def expand_macro(self, formatter, name, args):
        """ Return a random fortune. """
        fortune = commands.getoutput('/usr/games/fortune')
        fortune = fortune.replace('\n', '<br>')
        return fortune

<https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Hosted%20Apps>
<http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WikiMacros>

Would writing to standard output, as is done in fortune, be a useful 
default?

Yes, I too wish to leverage functional enterprise content interactively!
