Palyne,

Here's a solution posted by Dave Watts on the CF-Talk list some time
ago:

---------
You might find it difficult to put complex strings in the TEXT
attribute; you'll have to escape quotes, and you won't be able to have
line breaks. You can work around this by creating a custom tag with a
start and end execution mode, which reads its contents and calls
CFHTMLHEAD:

<!--- CF_HTMLHEAD custom tag --->
<CFIF ThisTag.ExecutionMode IS "End">
        <CFHTMLHEAD TEXT="#ThisTag.GeneratedContent#">
        <CFSET ThisTag.GeneratedContent = "">
</CFIF>
<!--- end CF_HTMLHEAD custom tag --->

...

<!--- using CF_HTMLHEAD custom tag in application.cfm --->
<CF_HTMLHEAD>
<META NAME="foo" VALUE="bar">
<META NAME="foo2" VALUE="bar2">
...
</CF_HTMLHEAD>
---------
Other advice:
(1) use #CHR(34)# instead of double quote
(2) use two double quotes (from eVolt's own Jeff)
