A stylesheet must be well-formed XML, so you can't use instructions inside
an attribute.
You want
<A>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:apply-templates select="article_url"/>
</xsl:attribute>
Or in your case I don't think you actually need apply-templates, you could
write
<A href="{article_url}">
This thing is called an attribute value template; the thing inside the curly
braces is an XPath expression which is evaluated as a string.
