[jira] [Comment Edited] (LOG4J2-2977) Documentation for code to create a FileAppender is out of date

Looks like the simplest fix would be to change the example from:

{code:java}
Layout layout = PatternLayout.createLayout(PatternLayout.SIMPLE_CONVERSION_PATTERN, config, null, null,null, null); 
{code}

to:

{code:java}
Layout layout = PatternLayout.createDefaultLayout(config)
{code}

based on:

[https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/master/log4j-core/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/layout/PatternLayout.java#L431]

I'm trying to get back into log4j2 development. Assigning ticket to myself but it may take a couple weeks to understand how to get this changed. Looks like this file needs updated:
