Another solution is to keep HTML templates and code separate.  So you'd
have a template file...

	<HTML><BODY><PRE>
	</PRE></BODY></HTML>

...and at script init, read it into $Header, $Footer, and then use those
varbs when printing.  Besides solving the literal-html problem, it also
makes editing of the template more convenient when you decide to elaborate
it later - you can edit the template without modifying your scripts.
