          Description

          PatternLayout manual page does not mention that this layout supports headers and footers.

          http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html#PatternLayout

          Documented parameters:

          • charset
          • pattern
          • replace
          • alwaysWriteExceptions

          Undocumented parameters:

          • config
          • noConsoleNoAnsi
          • header
          • footer

          I'm thinking to only document the header and footer parameters, but should the others be documented also?

            Config is not really a user configurable parameter. It is inserted by the configuration processor.

            Fixed in revision 1608193.

            Note: I didn't add documentation for noConsoleNoAnsi, because although I can tell the intention from the name and the javadoc, I could not find if/where it was implemented.

            noConsoleNoAnsi is an obscure setting, granted, but it is implemented in org.apache.logging.log4j.core.pattern.StyleConverter. If you search all Java files for noConsoleNoAnsi, you'll find three files that reference it.
