Description

I try this configuration:

<PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %replace{%m}{\n}{\n\t}%n"/>

And log message like this:

LOG.error("This\n" + 
          "is\n" + 
          "multiline\n" + 
          "log\n" + 
          "message");

Result:

	
15:42:11.364 [main] ERROR com.company.test.Main - Thisntisntmultilinentlogntmessage

Is there a possibility to get this result:

15:42:11.364 [main] ERROR com.company.test.Main - This
    is
    multiline
    log
    message
