Pulling xslt:text from xml file as text for a clickable link

Question

So I'm trying to create a sitmap with xml and an xslt files.

I want the URL's for the sitemap to be clickable when displayed (VERY new to this)... here is as far as I got:

<h3>Sitemap</h3>
<xsl:for-each select="urlset/url">
<p>
    <xsl:element name="a">
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
        <xsl:value-of select="loc"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:text>Link</xsl:text>
    </xsl:element>
</p>
</xsl:for-each>

any know how to change the word "Link" to be the URL of the site address its directing to? whilst still keeping the hyperlink in there?

I have already tried:

<h3>Sitemap</h3>
<xsl:for-each select="urlset/url">
<p>
    <xsl:element name="a">
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
        <xsl:value-of select="loc"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="loc"/></xsl:text>
    </xsl:element>
</p>
</xsl:for-each>

But I get an error :(

HELP?

What is your XSLT processor (Xalan, Saxon)? And what is your error? — Édouard Lopez

The <xsl:text> element cannot have any child elements. Try removing the <xsl:text> element from around <xsl:value-of select="loc"/>.

You don't need the extra-<xsl:text> tag as <xsl:value> will already create a text node :

The xsl:value-of element is instantiated to create a text node in the result tree.

Moreover, as @eero-helenius already stated <xsl:text> doesn't accept child elements.
