You didn't say whether you wanted xpath2 or 1, xpath2 makes it a bit
easier but I'll assume 1, as that works in both.

You want the xpath string " ' " which requires that you use " for the
string delimiter so your completed xpath is

self::node()[@content=" ' "]

which could more easily be written as the equivakent

@content=" ' "

either way yo need to put that expression in an XML attribute so if you
use " for the attribute value you need to quote "

test="self::node()[@content=" ' "]"

or you can use ' for teh attribute value and then quote '

test='self::node()[@content=" ' "]'
