Also, for large handling large blocks of html from tcl you might try
set myvar "Some Value"
ns_write [subst {<html>
<body>
<font color="blue">This is a page that has $myvar in it</font>
</body>
</html
}]
That way you don't have to escape the quotation marks. Although you still
have to escape $[ ]{ and }.
