Not the most readable solution  but you can mix the result from a value-of with plain text    lt a gt     lt xsl attribute name  href  gt       Text lt xsl value-of select     properties property  name  report    value   gt Text    lt  xsl attribute gt   lt  a gt

You can use the rather sensibly named xpath function called concat here   lt a gt      lt xsl attribute name  href  gt         lt xsl value-of select  concat  myText       properties property  name  report    value     gt      lt  xsl attribute gt   lt  a gt      Of course  it doesn t have to be text here  it can be another xpath expression to select an element or attribute  And you can have any number of arguments in the concat expression   Do note  you can make use of Attribute Value Templates  represented by the curly braces  here to simplify your expression   lt a href   concat  myText       properties property  name  report    value    gt  lt  a gt
