Start with an identity transform. This will copy everything (elements, attributes, text, comments, processing-instructions) as-is.

Add more specific templates to override processing by the identity transform or the built-in template rules.

Example...

XML Input (fixed to be well-formed)

<content>
    <para>Please click <link href="https://www.google.com">here</link> to navigate to Google search.</para>
</content>

XSLT 1.0

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output indent="yes"/>
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <!-- Identity transform -->
  <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="/content">
    <html>
      <body>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="para">
    <p>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </p>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="link">
    <a>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </a>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Output

<html>
   <body>
      <p>Please click <a href="https://www.google.com">here</a> to navigate to Google search.
      </p>
   </body>
</html>

It would also be a good idea to get a good book on XSLT and read through that first.
