Use processing-instruction in XSLT

I want to use processing-instruction in XSLT.

Logic: If there is <?Table Sideturn?> it should add <context:sideturn>

Input:

<table-wrap id="tab_A.1" position="anchor">
  <?Table Sideturn?>
  <label>Table A.1</label>
  <caption/>
  <table>
    <tbody/>
  </table>
</table-wrap

Output should be:

<context:sideturn>
  <table/>
</context:sideturn>

Tried code:

<xsl:template match="table">
   <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::processing-instruction('Table Sideturn')">
         <context:sideturn>
            <table/>
         </context:sideturn>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
         <context:not-sideturn>
            <table/>
         </context:not-sideturn>
      </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Above my xpath is not working well. How can I resolve this? I am using XSLT 2.0.

Thank you.

The processing instruction

<?Table Sideturn?>

Has a name of Table and a value of Sideturn. So you need to check for it based on its name and value:

<xsl:when
  test="preceding-sibling::processing-instruction('Table')[normalize-space() = 'Sideturn']">

As noted in the comments, I'm using normalize-space() here since some processors may treat the value as having a space at the beginning.

You Can try this:

<xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::processing-instruction('Table Sideturn')">

Instead-of

<xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::processing-instruction('Table')">

Becouse Space is not allowed in element name.
