[log4perl-devel] extension lines in ConversionPattern?

[Dintelmann, P. <Pet...@Dr...>]

Hi,

can we have extension lines in ConversionPatterns? I just wrote

    log4j.appender.BLA.layout.ConversionPattern=Time:   %d%nHost:   %H%nPID:
%P%n%nLevel:  %p%nSource: %c%n%n%m%n
    
in a config file which is nearly unreadable in a standard terminal. I'd
rather like to see

    log4j.appender.BLA.layout.ConversionPattern=Time:   %d%nHost:   %H%n\
    PID:    %P%n%nLevel:  %p%nSource: %c%n%n%m%n
    
instead, where the \ at end of line extends it to the next line. 

This improves readability from my point of view.

Regards,

    Peter Dintelmann
