RTFM, :help append(), paraphrased below:

The second parameter to append() can be either a String or a List.

If a String, it will become only one line, with no linebreaks in the
middle. Both 0x00 and 0x0A produce a null (stored internally as a linefeed).

If a List, each item in the List will become one line. So to append the
three following lines the third one of which is empty) before line 1 of
the file,

THIS IS ONE BIG UNDERLINED TITLE WITH AN EMPTY LINE BELOW IT
============================================================

use
:call append(0, [
\ 'THIS IS ONE BIG UNDERLINED TITLE WITH AN EMPTY LINE BELOW IT',
\ '============================================================',
\ '' ])

Of course, only Vim 7 supports Lists, so this example won't work in Vim
6.x or earlier.

Best regards,
Tony.
