# Picking a format

Xberg has two orthogonal format knobs. Get them right up front and the
downstream code stays simple.

| Knob                | What it controls                                  | Values                                 | Default          |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| `--format`          | How the CLI prints the result                     | `text`, `json`, `toon`                 | `text` (`extract`), `json` (`batch`) |
| `--content-format`  | How extracted content is rendered inside `result` | `plain`, `markdown`, `djot`, `html`, `json`, `doctags` | `plain`     |
| `--token-reduction` | Strip whitespace / boilerplate for LLM contexts   | `off`, `light`, `moderate`, `aggressive`, `maximum` | `off`  |

`--format json` returns an envelope wrapping the `ExtractedDocument` — the
document lives under `.result` for `extract` and under `.results[]` for
`batch`, with `content`, `metadata`, `tables`, and `images` as fields of
