XSLT - Rename and move elements to a new node

I have the following XML input file:

<home>
    <folders>
        <folder uuid="uuid1">
            <name>folder1</name>
            <member ref="refA" />
            <member ref="refB" />
        </folder>
        <folder uuid="uuid2">
            <name>folder2</name>
            <member ref="refC" />
            <member ref="refD" />
        </folder>
        <folder uuid="uuid3">
            <name>folder3</name>
            <member ref="refE" />
            <member ref="refF" />
        </folder>
    </folders>
</home>

And I would have the following tree:

<home>
    <folders>
        <folder uuid="uuid1">
            <name>folder1</name>
            <refNews>
                <refNew ref="refA" />
                <refNew ref="refB" />
            </refNews>
        </folder>
        <folder uuid="uuid2">
            <name>folder2</name>
            <refNews>
                <refNew ref="refC" />
                <refNew ref="refD" />
            </refNews>
        </folder>
        <folder uuid="uuid3">
            <name>folder3</name>
            <refNews>
                <refNew ref="refE" />
                <refNew ref="refF" />
            </refNews>
        </folder>
    </folders>
</home>

To resume :

I try several XSLT templates but I can't rename and move in the same XSLT file :-(

I need your help, please.

Regards, Zido

It's always better to see what you have so far and help fix where it's going wrong, but this is actually quite easy. Try this:

<xsl:template match="folder">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()[not(self::member)]"/>
    <refNews>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="member"/>
    </refNews>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

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

If you don't want a refNews element if there aren't any members, you can just wrap the refNews element in <xsl:if test="member"/>, or better yet, have the first template to match folder[member].

This assumes you also have the identity template defined.
