# MetadataSelectorExtractPlainText

A Boolean value that specifies whether to extract metadata as plain text.

To include only plain text in metadata fields created with MetadataSelector and MetadataFieldName, set this parameter to `TRUE`.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | False
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | TaskName or FetchTasks or Default
Example: | The following might appear in an HTML document:
    <p class="important">This is <strong>important</strong> text</p>
To extract the information and add it to a metadata field you might use the following configuration:
    MetadataSelectorExtractPlainText=TRUE
    MetadataSelector0=p.important
    MetadataFieldName0=important_paragraph
When `MetadataSelectorExtractPlainText=True`, the information is extracted as plain text. In this example the `<strong>` HTML tags are removed:
    #DREFIELD important_paragraph="This is important text"
