I don't understand why people use this pattern.  Why not reduce all those +=
to a single assignment:
var t = "<html>"
+ "<head>"
+ "<title>
+ .... etc.

Or if you really need granular/line-by-line string building (loop iteration,
complex flow)
var a = [];
a.push( "<html>" );
a.push( etc );
var t = a.join("");  /* or a.join("\r") if you really want the line breaks
in source */
