I would say, ask a different question.

You're not really inserting anything into the output because 99% of the
time, XSLT is not about serially pasting together a bunch of strings.
You are creating a virtual tree of nodes and then letting an outputter
automatically serialize that tree into a linear syntax like XML or HTML.

So your task, when you want to generate HTML, is to construct a tree
that you know will be serialized the way you want it. The question
should be "What XSLT can I use to construct a tree that will be
serialized as HTML looking like [some sample output]?"
