I'm trying to create a website with python, in an odd way

Here's my code:

with open('index.html', 'w') as html:
    title = input('Title of the page? ').capitalize()
    h2 = input('Heading for your website: ').capitalize()
    p1 = input('First paragraph: ').capitalize()
    p2 = input('Second paragraph: ').capitalize()
    a = '''
<html>
    <head>
        <link href="css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">

        <title> {} </title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <center>
        <h2> {} </h2>
        </center>
        <div id='well'>
            <p style='position: relative; left: 100px'> {} </p>
            <p style='position: relative; left: 100px'> {} </p>
            <input type='button' value='test' onClick='Button()'>
            <p id='lol'> </p>
        </div>
        <script>
        function Button()
            \{
            document.getElementById('lol').innerHTML = 'hello';

            \}

        </script>
    </body>
</html>
'''.format(title, h2, p1, p2)
    html.write(a)

Everything worked perfectly fine until I attempted to add the javascript function with the { } brackets, and the program thought they were part of the format function, how do I get past this? I've tried putting \ infront of it, but it didn't work, (btw, any ideas I should add to this very simple concept? :) )

A workaround (and a good practice) is NOT mix JavaScript code into HTML. Instead, you leave hooks in HTML for JavaScript.

You need to double curly braces. Instead of escaping with \, you should have {{ and }}.
