The Emacs function ‘insert’ inserts text into the current buffer:

(insert &rest ARGS)

Insert the arguments, either strings or characters, at point.

A simple function to insert a form-feed character:

(defun new-page ()
  "Insert a page separator into the current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (newline)
  (insert ?\f)                 ;Form feed is \f or Ctrl-l or ASCII 012
  (newline))

‘insert’ accepts either characters or strings, so it could be used to
define a command that inserts whatever text you want in a heading.

(newline)
(insert "Header line 1\n")
(insert "Line 2\n")
(insert (format "Parameter is %s.\n" parm))
