# XML Output Format

This section describes the XML output tags and attributes that edktool returns when you run the extract command with a plain text file.

## <MATCH>

The details of a match.

Attribute | Description
--- | ---
`EntityName` | The name of the matched entity.
`Offset` | The match start position in the buffer, in bytes.
`OffsetLength` | The match start position in the buffer, in characters. This value returns only when `OutputSimpleMatchInfo=FALSE`. See OutputSimpleMatchInfo.
`Score` | The final score for this match.
`NormalizedTextSize` | The length of the normalized text, in bytes. This value returns only when `OutputSimpleMatchInfo=FALSE`. See OutputSimpleMatchInfo.
`NormalizedTextLength` | The length of the normalized text, in characters. This value returns only when `OutputSimpleMatchInfo=FALSE`. See OutputSimpleMatchInfo.
`OriginalTextSize` | The length of the matched text, in bytes. This value returns only when `OutputSimpleMatchInfo=FALSE`. See OutputSimpleMatchInfo.
`OriginalTextLength` | The length of the matched text, in characters. This value returns only when `OutputSimpleMatchInfo=FALSE`. See OutputSimpleMatchInfo.

The following table lists the child elements that `<MATCH>` contains.

Child Elements | Description
--- | ---
`<ORIGINAL_TEXT>` | The text from the input that was matched. This value returns only when `OutputSimpleMatchInfo=FALSE`. See OutputSimpleMatchInfo.
`<NORMALIZED_TEXT>` | The normalized match text. Normalized text might differ from the original text if, for example, a synonym was matched (in which case the original text is replaced with the headword), or a pattern used the replace attribute or the `(?A!...)` syntax. The text might also be adjusted by post-processing scripts, if configured.
`<COMPONENTS>` | The match components, if present for this entity and when `EnableComponents=TRUE`.

## <COMPONENT>

The details of a component.

Attribute | Description
--- | ---
`Name` | The component name.
`Text` | The component text (normalized, if applicable).
`Offset` | The component start position in the matched text, in bytes.
`OffsetLength` | The component start position in the matched text, in characters.
`TextSize` | The component text length, in bytes.
`TextLength` | The component text length, in characters.
