Mikael Ståldal commented on LOG4J2-1459:
----------------------------------------

If we define the syntax for this, why do we name it "ANSI"?

> For {{PatternLayout}}: Add an ANSI option to {{message}} so you can say {{%message\{ansi\}}} and allow ANSI escape syntax in your log even messages.
> For example:
> Using styles defined in the configuration:
> {code:xml}
>        <PatternLayout>
>          <Pattern>%message{ansi}{WarningStyle=red,bold KeyStyle=white ValueStyle=blue}%n</Pattern>
>       </PatternLayout>
> {code}
> {code:java}
> logger.error("@|WarningStyle Warning!|@ Pants on @|WarningStyle fire!|@");
> {code}
> Using hard-coded styles:
> {code:java}
> logger.error("@|red Warning!|@ Pants on @|blue fire!|@");
> {code}
> The {{"@|Style Text|@"}} syntax is from JANSI but the markers can be user defined using {{BeginToken}} and {{EndToken}}:
> {code:xml}
> <PatternLayout>
>   <Pattern>%message{ansi}{BeginToken=@| EndToken=|@ WarningStyle=red,bold KeyStyle=white ValueStyle=blue}%n</Pattern>
> </PatternLayout>
> {code}
