Hi Scott,
Hi John,
Yet another suggestion.
Documentation that was structured something like;
* Overview Of A Configurable Logging Facillity * Canned Configurations * Just Using A File * In The Presence Of An IDE * Sending To Syslog * ... * The Default Configuration * Advanced Configuration
Ok, that sounds doable - after redesigning the lib, I'll do my best to do it like this.
While the configurability of your library is perhaps its greatest selling point, without the bundling of "kickstart" code and a presentation such as that shown above it forces first timers to learn how to configure. I
I guess I just didn't realize how important a few lines of code really are :)
remember clicking your "Fast And Furious" with a mixture of guilt and relief only to be faced with material that still assumed a deeper understanding.
Ok, point taken.
There is an analogy to be drawn with the STL. I was a wary adopter of strings and maps, only using them in the simplest ways. Documentation for such usage was plentiful. But it's the deeper potential of these STL templates that has made me a convert.
Ok, you'll have it in the next version. Best, John
Cheers.
