Ron Grabowski commented on LOG4NET-34:
--------------------------------------
The code actually takes the first text or CDATA. That allows a comment to come
before the text.
Another general benefit of being able to use CDATA is that you don't have
squeeze potentially long marksup all on one line:
<conversionPattern>
<!-- Hello World -->
<![CDATA[
<header>
<date>
<hour>
%d{h}
</hour>
</date>
<user>
%u
</user>
<info>
%m
</info>
</header>
]]>
</conversionPattern>
I quicklyt tried inserting tabs into the layout using \t, \\t, and '\t' but
they always rendered as a literal. I didn't see a %tab pattern or a %space{5}
pattern.
If the text were concatenated, would this appear on one line in the output file?
<conversionPattern>
<!-- this text is ignored -->
<![CDATA[%m ]]>
<!-- this text is ignored -->
<![CDATA[%d ]]>
<!-- this text is ignored -->
<![CDATA[%n ]]>
</conversionPattern>
It looks a little messy but I can think of some cases where it could be useful.
Especially with describing custom patterns.

> Currently values for xml config nodes must be passed in via the value
> attribute:
> <conversionPattern value="%5p %d{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss tt} (%c:%L) - %m%n" />
> Why isn't this syntax supported?
> <conversionPattern>%5p %d{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss tt} (%c:%L) -
> %m%n</conversionPattern>
> If the above syntax were supported, a possible solution to this question:

> <![CDATA[<header>%n <date>%d</date>%n <user>%u</user>%n
> <info>%m</info>%n</header>%n]]>
> </conversionPattern>
