[Uw-ruby] Encapsulating HTML <style> using CGI??

I have a question about using Ruby CGI.  I want to be able to generate 
some very rich web tables that the HTML is generated from a tool chain 
of Excel--Word and then exported to an HTML file for the look and feel 
of my web page.

The cgi.rb example got me pointed in the right direction, but how does 
one go about pulling raw text "style" strings into a cgi object so that 
it can properly build an HTML sections output?

The objective is to get a section of the CGI Ruby script to generate 
something like:

<style>
<!--
 /* Font Definitions */
@font-face
    {font-family:"Times New Roman";
    panose-1:0 2 2 6 3 5 4 5 2 3;
    mso-font-charset:0;
    mso-generic-font-family:auto;
    mso-font-pitch:variable;
    mso-font-signature:50331648 0 0 0 1 0;}
@font-face
    {font-family:Verdana;
    panose-1:0 2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2;
    mso-font-charset:0;
    mso-generic-font-family:auto;
    mso-font-pitch:variable;
    mso-font-signature:50331648 0 0 0 1 0;}
 /* Style Definitions */
p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal
    {mso-style-parent:"";
    margin:0in;
    margin-bottom:.0001pt;
    mso-pagination:widow-orphan;
    font-size:12.0pt;
    font-family:"Times New Roman";}

bla
        bla
                bla

@page Section1
    {size:8.5in 11.0in;
    margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;
    mso-header-margin:.5in;
    mso-footer-margin:.5in;
    mso-paper-source:0;}
div.Section1
    {page:Section1;}
-->
</style>


FROM making a call to the Ruby CGI class

      cgi.style

How would one encapsulate all of the above complex text"???
