That will not work. Single quotes means that the '\n' is not interpreted
as a new line so you'll see a bunch of '\n' in the output.
What I sometimes do is:
$out = array();
$out[] = '<html>';
$out[] = '<head>';
$out[] = ' <title>Page Title</title>';
$out[] = '</head>';
$out[] = '<body>';
$out[] = '<p>This is the page body</p>';
$out[] = '</body>';
$out[] = '</html>';
echo join("\n",$out);
