I'm currently creating a report page in HTML format with ruby
An Example is:
fileHtml = File.new("filename.html", "w+")
fileHtml.puts "<HTML>"
fileHtml.puts "<HEAD>"
fileHtml.puts "<style media='all' type='text/css'>"
fileHtml.puts "body {font-family: Helvetica Neue, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; color: #525252; padding: 0; margin: 0;background: #f2f2f2;}"
fileHtml.puts ".content {max-width:1180px; padding: 40px;}"
fileHtml.puts ".div1 {margin-top: 28px; margin-bottom: 1px; background-color: #fff; padding: 10px 40px; padding-bottom: 8px; }"
fileHtml.puts ".div2 {margin-top: 2px; height:25%; margin-bottom: 28px; background-color: #fff; padding: 10px 40px; padding-bottom: 8px; }"
fileHtml.puts ".header {background-color: white; height: 16%; min-height: 110px; position: relative; width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;}"
fileHtml.puts ".secondSection {background-color: #e8e8e8; height: 16%; min-height: 110px; position: relative; width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;}"
fileHtml.puts ".pass {color: #ffffff; background: #34d9a2; padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px; text-decoration: none; width:50px;}"
fileHtml.puts ".fail {color: #ffffff; background: #f25e6a; padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px; text-decoration: none; width:50px;}"
fileHtml.puts "</style>"
fileHtml.puts "</HEAD>"
fileHtml.puts "<BODY>"
fileHtml.puts "<DIV class='header'><img src='img.png' alt='logo'></div>"
fileHtml.puts "<DIV class='secondSection'><p>#{dateTime}</p><p>#{platform}</p><p>#{log}</p></div>"
fileHtml.puts "<DIV class='content'>"
fileHtml.puts "<DIV class='div1'><h2>Test Case 001: name</h2></DIV>"
fileHtml.puts "<DIV class='div2'><p class='pass'>#{pass}</p><p class='fail'>#{fail}</p></DIV>"
fileHtml.puts "</DIV>"
fileHtml.puts "</BODY></HTML>"
fileHtml.close()
Was wondering if i'm approaching this incorrectly and if there was another way to create HTML files and insert stored variable results

I think what you mean is called embedded Ruby or ERB for short. You can save your template as a separate file, for example template.erb. Then you can render the content in your ruby script with simple tags, for example <%= @var %>. You can pass the binding to ERB, that way you will be able to access instance variables (the ones with an @ at the beginning) inside your template.html.erb:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<!-- etc... -->
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<DIV class='header'><img src='img.png' alt='logo'></div>
<DIV class='secondSection'>
<p><%= @date_time %></p>
<p><%= @platform %></p>
<p><%= @log %></p>
</div>
<DIV class='content'>
<DIV class='div1'>
<h2>Test Case 001: name</h2>
</DIV>
<DIV class='div2'>
<p class='pass'><%= @pass %></p>
<p class='fail'><%= @fail %></p>
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Then, in your program:
# do computation and set your instance variables
@date_time = ...
@platform = ...
@log = ...
@pass = ...
@fail = ...
# render template
template = File.read('./template.html.erb')
result = ERB.new(template).result(binding)
# write result to file
File.open('filename.html', 'w+') do |f|
f.write result
end
# file is closed automatically with File.open do ... end
You can even do more advanced stuff like loops inside the template:
<% [1,2,3].each do |number| %>
<%= number %>
<% end %>
notice the difference between <% ... %>, which will only run the code, and <%= ... %>, which will take the return value and "write" its string representation into the template.

There is indeed - not one, but many. One simple one is to use heredoc string format:
string = <<-EOF
<HTML>
<HEAD>
... #{pass} ....
</HTML>
EOF
Another is using a templating engine. One is already baked into Ruby core library: ERb.
For even more abstraction, you could look into Haml and Sass gems, or Slim.
