Start with the identity transformation

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

and add a template for <book> elements

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

Chris,

I'm only a beginner with xslt so I'm sure that Martins way is a lot more
efficient than mine. Anyway, here is the xslt code you need:

Pete

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/book">
 <booklist>
  <xsl:for-each select="./title">
   <new-title>
    <xsl:value-of select="."></xsl:value-of>
   </new-title>
  </xsl:for-each>
 </booklist>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi Chris

For your second point, you can use the translate() and name() functions to
do this. Here's a stylesheet that starts with the Identity transform (lots of
posts about this in this group), adds in another template that matches
elements, then translates the lower case letters to upper case. If you are
working with languages other than English, then you would need to expand the
list appropriately...
