rectangle coordinates of Abbyy Cloud Ocr (Xml output)

so im trying to extract data from invoices for that im using abby cloud ocr. im got the output as xml file now what i want to do is look for a text and take its rectangle cordinates and then look for closest rectangle and take its value to do that i need the rectangle coordinates well the xml file actually return cordinates but i cant understand it

ill show u an example of the xml output (ill replace uneeded text with '....')

<line baseline="2062" l="2037" t="2033" r="2206" b="2064">....</line>
<line baseline="2101" l="295" t="2070" r="588" b="2097">....</line>

these are too different rectangles anyway i went to see the documentation and this is what is says

baseline — the distance from the base line to the top edge of the page
l — the coordinate of the left border of the surrounding rectangle,
t — the coordinate of the top border of the surrounding rectangle
r — the coordinate of the right border of the surrounding rectangle
b — the coordinate of the bottom border of the surrounding rectangle

what coordinate of the left border of the surrounding rectangle mean ?

isnt the rectangle coordinates on this format [[x1,y1],[x2,y2],[x3,y3],[x4,y4]]?

can you explain to me what they mean by these coordinates or how can i use it ??
