I would probably recommend reading the guide from file instead. Aside from letting you update the guide while the world is running, it means you don't have what could potentially be quite a big reference of material embedded within your DMB.

mob/proc/GUIDE_Display()
    var/html = file2text("doc/guide.html")
    src << browse(html,"window=Stats;size=400x380") // Controls the size of the box.

mob/verb/View_GUIDE()
    set hidden = 1
    src.GUIDE_Display()   // Display it when someone clicks the command


So in this example, it is expecting a guide.html file under the "doc" directory, next to your DMB file. You can use DreamMaker to bundle this stuff together with the "additional files" option.
