module Logging

# The +Layout+ class provides methods for formatting log events into a
# string representation. Layouts are used by Appenders to format log
# events before writing them to the logging destination.
#
# All other Layouts inherit from this class which provides stub methods.
# Each subclass should provide a +format+ method. A layout can be used by
# more than one +Appender+ so all the methods need to be thread safe.
#
class Layout

  # call-seq:
  #    Layout.new( :format_as => :string )
  #
  # Creates a new layout that will format objects as strings using the
  # given <tt>:format_as</tt> style. This can be one of <tt>:string</tt>,
  # <tt>:inspect</tt>, or <tt>:yaml</tt>. These formatting commands map to
  # the following object methods:
  #
  # * :string  => to_s
  # * :inspect => inspect
  # * :yaml    => to_yaml
  # * :json    => MultiJson.encode(obj)
  #
  # If the format is not specified then the global object format is used
  # (see Logging#format_as). If the global object format is not specified
  # then <tt>:string</tt> is used.
