Insert text in file using two variables. (ksh)

I want to insert text into a file using ksh script. The text is going above a closing </body> tag. In the text are two variables.

I thought I found how to do it, inexplicably still, using awk, but ran into some problems and time has gone by too fast. The problems using awk came when I added my second variable, however the problem might not be the second variable.Smilie
