Mod_ruby and html headers

cgi.body{<i>the text inside the body</i>}
generates the code
<body> <i>the text inside the body </i> </body>, but how do you generate
code where the header is something isn't a valid method name like
<input type="text" name="firstname">.

I know I can simply use eruby instead but that's ignoring a basic issue
in doing things in mod_ruby.

Thanks in advance
