ADDRESS

The plugin address is in the form of XML XPATH.

node-name: Prefix

For self-closing tags where the value is represented by the element name (e.g., CONDITION-type data items), prepend node-name: to the address. When this prefix is used and the matched element has no child content, the plugin extracts the element's tag name instead of its text content.

Address Prefix	Behavior
node-name:	Extract element tag name from self-closing tags.
(no prefix)	Extract element text content (default).
