You can shorten this to:


1.  cat <<END >> thumbnails.html
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Thumbnails</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    END

Or, if you don't mind it all being on one line:

2. echo "<html><head><title>Thumbnails</title></head><body>" >> thumbnails.html

Or, if you just want to get ridiculous (why you'd want to do this, I don't 
know, just that you can :)


3.  for i in html head title Thumbnails /title /head body
    do
    if [ "$i" != "Thumbnails" -a "$i" != "head" ]
    then
     if [ "$i" = "title" ]
     then
       echo -n "<$i>" >> /tmp/tn.html
     else
       echo "<$i>" >> /tmp/tn.html
     fi
    else
     echo -n "$i" >> thunbnails.html
    fi
  done

I think I prefer option 1 or 2.  3 is just plain silly IMO, but it's option :)
