Shell script replace variable in HTML document

I want to create a static website from a shell script.

Sample shell script code:

author="Github INC."
name="Github"
description="social coding"
text=$(awk '{ print }' main.html)

The main.html file may look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head> 
    <title>$name</title> 
</head> 
<body>
......

I want to replace the $ name line in the html document between the title tag with the $ name line in the bash script (in this Github example), so in this example it should look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head> 
    <title>Github</title> 
</head> 
<body>
......

I could do this by changing the shell code of the script to this:

author="Github INC."
name="Github"
description="social coding"
text="$( sed "s/<title>.*<\/title>/<title>$name<\/title>" main.html )"

But if I use more than one line in an html document, then this will not work anymore ...

For instance:

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head> 
    <title>$name</title> 
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> 
    <meta name="robots" content="index, follow" /> 
    <meta name="author" content="$author" /> 
    <meta name="description" content="$description" /> 
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.png" /> 
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> 
</head> 
<body>

Any ideas on how to associate lines from a shell script with an HTML document?
