Setting xsl:value-of into an href attribute and the text field of a link in an XSLT

<xsl:text> defines a text section in an XSL document. Only real, plain text can go here, and not XML nodes. You only need <xsl:value-of select="actionUrl"/>, which will print text anyways.

<xsl:element name="a">
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
        <xsl:value-of select="actionUrl"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:value-of select="actionUrl"/>
</xsl:element>
