Pass variable to href tag within body of an email

by

First time posting, although I have spent many a moon lurking around the site. I was unable to find if anyone had a similar post and thus I am posting to see if someone can answer this question for me.

I am trying to embed a hyperlink into the body of an email. I am taking data from a specific cell from a sheet

var n = ws.getRange("A2").getDisplayValue();
var data1 = ws.getRange("L2").getDisplayValue();

and want to pass that variable, data1, to an html template to embed into a specific href tag URL within the template to mail out.

var temp= HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("xyz");

temp.name = n;

var htmlMessage = temp.evaluate().getContent();
  GmailApp.sendEmail(
      Email, 
      Subject,"Your email doesn't support HTML.", 
      {name: "AD", htmlBody: htmlMessage}
    );

Example html file "xyz":

<p>Hi, <?= name ?>,</p>

<p>Please see attached <a href="data1">link</a></p>

How would I go about passing the variable into the tag? Thanks in advance!
