Description

Currently values for xml config nodes must be passed in via the value attribute:

<conversionPattern value="%5p %d

{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss tt}

(%c:%L) - %m%n" />

Why isn't this syntax supported?

<conversionPattern>%5p %d

{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss tt}

(%c:%L) - %m%n</conversionPattern>

If the above syntax were supported, a possible solution to this question:

would be:

<conversionPattern>
<![CDATA[<header>%n <date>%d</date>%n <user>%u</user>%n <info>%m</info>%n</header>%n]]>
</conversionPattern>
