Without the context (the original XML document) we can only guess what
your input looks like. However by selecting @MyNode it suggests you've
embedded all your "HTML" in some attribute, which really is not suited
to storing markup.

In any case, you would need to use <xsl:copy-of select="$MyVar" /> not
value-of (which copies only the text content of the parameter)
