You’re saying that if you paste the above line into a new document,  
place caret on that line, and invoces Show Variables, you only see

HTML output? Yes, if you output something with <…> and have the  
output option as Show as HTML, that part will not be shown.

You can add ‘|pre’ to your command to have things HTML-escaped.
