Hi Xavier,

Hi Ceki,

Many thanks for your compliment. Would you care to create a bug report
asking for an enhancement of the documentation as you describe in your
email? You can do so under the logback-site/documentation heading [1].

Done. Bug 39.

The logback-demo [2] gives an example of how you could use markers.

[...]
Does the above help?

Yes, thanks a lot, it's clear for me now. This can be used as some sort of custom and independent level, since you can filter them very early in the logging process. Very nice feature. I hope we'll see more and more projects using logback in the future :-)

Cheers,

Xavier
