XSLT - 'a href' within an element that is not part of atribute

So i have this piece of an XML document I'm working on in class.

<etymology>The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakama">Yakama</a> Native American tribe</etymology>

it contains a href within the element of Etymology. When the XSLT transforms this by default, the link gets 'deactivated' in a way that only the text shows and it no longer links out to another page.

I need to know what to do here:

<td width="25%">
    <xsl:value-of select="etymology"/>
</td>

So that the links as many as there may be in the Etymology element will translate or appear as a link and not transform into plain text.

My current and ONLY template defined in the stylesheet is this:

<xsl:template match="/">

    <html>
        <head>
        <title>Washington Counties</title>          
        </head>

        <body>
        <h1>Washington Counties</h1>
        <p>
            ( <a><xsl:attribute name="href">
                <xsl:value-of select="counties/@source" />
            </xsl:attribute>
            data source</a> )
        </p>

        <table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse;">

            <tr><th>County</th><th>INCITS</th><th>County Seat</th><th>Established</th><th>Origin</th><th>Etymology</th><th>Population</th><th>Area</th><th>Map</th>
            </tr>
            <xsl:for-each select="counties/county">
                <xsl:sort select="established" order="ascending" data-type="number" />
                <tr>
                <td>
                    <xsl:choose>

Instead of:

<xsl:value-of select="etymology"/>

do:

<xsl:apply-templates select="etymology/node()"/>

and make sure you have a templates that copy a and text nodes.

xsl:value-of will, as the name says, only take the value of the node. You need to use xsl:apply-templates for the processor to continue processing the contents as they are.

Since the default action is to copy, you will get everything inside the tag in the output.
