Does anyone know the syntax or have an example to create an [a href... link?

I have the following:
[link]
[link_text]Company A[/link_text]
[link_url]http://www.companya.com[/link_url]
[/link]

and want Company A to be a hot link to www.companya.com in the XSL output file.
I have tried but can't get past syntax errors in stylus.

Thanks,

Dan

Below are snippets of the XSL and XML files. In the output html, CNN is a hotlink to http://cnn.com but the looping for ABC does not work. Can someone please provide an example of looping that works with this example so that both CNN and ABC are links.

XSL FILE:
[xsl:template match="links"]
[br/]
[a]
[xsl:attribute name="HREF"]http://[xsl:value-of select="url"/][/xsl:attribute]
[xsl:value-of select="url_text"/]
[/a]
[br/]
[/xsl:template]

XML FILE:
[links>
[url_text]CNN[/url_text]
[url]www.cnn.com[/url]
[url_text]ABC[/url_text]
[url]www.abc.com[/url]
[/links]

Your XSL template matches the wrong node. (links rather than link) Use these instead:-

[xsl:template match="links"]
[xsl:apply-templates/]
[/xsl:template]

[xsl:template match="link"]
[br/]
[a]
[xsl:attribute name="HREF"]http://[xsl:value-of select="url"/][/xsl:attribute]
[xsl:value-of select="url_text"/]
[/a]
[br/]
[/xsl:template]

PS You can abbreviate the last template to:-
[xsl:template match="link"]
[br/][a HREF="{url}"][xsl:value-of select="url_text"/][/a]
[br/]
[/xsl:template]

regards,
Richard
