How to reference variable in xsl:text element?

Question

I have a stylesheet where I would prefer to insert predefined string variable in xsl text element, but can't find any pointers while searching the web.

For example:

<xsl:variable name="var" select="node()/ref/text()"/>
...
<xsl:text>Some text where I want to append $var variable desperately</xsl:text>
...

I tried with $var, ($var), {$var}...

xsl:text is only used to output fixed text, and it cannot contain nested instructions. The instruction to output variable text is xsl:value-of.
