I’m new at XSLT. I want to create a hyperlink using XSLT.
Should look like this:

Read our privacy policy.

“privacy policy” is the link and upon clicking this, should redirect to example “www.privacy.com”

Any ideas? 🙂

    This transformation:

    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>

 <xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
   <a href="www.privacy.com">Read our <b>privacy policy.</b></a>
  </html>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

    when applied on any XML document (not used), produces the wanted result:

    <html><a href="www.privacy.com">Read our <b>privacy policy.</b></a></html>

    and this is displayed by the browser as:

    Read our privacy policy.

    Now imagine that nothing is hardcoded in the XSLT stylesheet — instead the data is in the source XML document:

    <link url="www.privacy.com">
 Read our <b>privacy policy.</b>
</link>

    Then this transformation:

    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
 <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

 <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
  <xsl:copy>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
  </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="link">
  <a href="{@url}"><xsl:apply-templates/></a>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

    when applied on the above XML document, produces the wanted, correct result:

    <a href="www.privacy.com">
 Read our <b>privacy policy.</b>
</a>
