  <a href="{.}">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </a>

if the source is as you showed above. If the location of the URL varies, try something like

  <a>
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="...">
          ...
        </xsl:when>
        ...
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </a>
