# XML Schema Description

> XML schema for ABBYY FineReader Engine recognized text exports (ABBYY_Scheme_XML.xsd) — tags for document structure, attributes, and recognition variants.

An XML file contains the recognized text, with additional information about its structure, attributes and recognition variants described with the help of XML tags. See the table below for the description of possible tags. Some tags may not be present according to the values of the recognition parameters. For example, word or character recognition variants will only be saved if the corresponding properties of the [XMLExportParams](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/parameter-objects/export-parameters/xmlexportparams) object are set to TRUE.

You can find the XML schema in the ABBYY\_Scheme\_XML.xsd file.

This file is located in the [Headers](/fine-reader/engine/distribution/distribution-macos/distribution-kit-macos) folder for macOS or the Inc folder for [Linux](/fine-reader/engine/distribution/distribution-linux/distribution-kit-linux#inc) and [Windows](/fine-reader/engine/distribution/distribution-windows/distribution-kit#inc) (Start > Programs > ABBYY FineReader Engine 12 > Installation Folders > Include Files Folder).

The picture below shows the example of Picture, Text, and Table blocks in the output XML file.
