Very simple question. If I have the XML file below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="newspage.xsl"?>
<newspage>
<content>Click here for blah blah</content>
</newspage>

How can I use XLink to make an HTML hyperlink out of the "click here" text?

I have tried this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="newspage.xsl"?>
<newspage>
<content><ABC xlink:type="simple"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xlink:href="http://www.somelocation.org/">Click here</ABC> for blah blah</content> </newspage>

But when I reference this element in my xsl document using:
<xsl:value-of select="newspage/content" /> The word appears without a link. Is there a step I am forgetting? I am kinda new to XML. Thank you very much for your suggesstions!
