# Lotus Domino XML Language Files

You can make sure that dates and times extracted from Lotus Domino .DXL files are displayed in a uniform format.

To extract custom date/time formats

- In the `formats.ini` file, set the `DateTimeFormat` option in the `[dxlsr]` section. For example:

      [dxlsr]
      DateTimeFormat=%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p

  In this example, dates and times are extracted in the following format:

  02/11/2003 11:36:09 AM

  The format arguments are the same as those for the `strftime()` function. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fe06s4ak%28VS.71%29.aspx for more information.

## Extract .DXL Files to HTML

You can use the file extraction API to process .DXL files with an XSLT engine. The XSLT engine then transforms the extracted .DXL to .mail HTML files.

To extract .DXL files to HTML

- Set the following options in the `formats.ini` file:

      [nsfsr]
      ExportDXL=1
      ExportDXL_PureXML=1

      [dxlsr]
      LNDParser=2
