You want the attribute value template [1]. Note lines 3 and 7.

 1  <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 2  <xsl:output indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
 3  <xsl:variable name="tt" select="tocTitle"/>
 4
 5  <xsl:template match="tocTitle">
 6   <tr><td>
 7    <a href="{$tt}">
 8     <xsl:apply-templates />
 9    </a>
10   </td></tr>
11  </xsl:template>
12
13  </xsl:stylesheet>

which when applied to the document below (with Saxon, e.g.):

<tocTitle>tocdoc</tocTitle>

will yield:

<tr>
   <td>
      <a href="tocdoc">tocdoc</a>
   </td>
</tr>
