Bug #117377 for Log-Log4perl: Document missing Log::Log4perl::DateFormat format specifiers in Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout

Subject:

Document missing Log::Log4perl::DateFormat format specifiers in Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout

The following format specifiers are currently supported by Log::Log4perl::DateFormat but are not documented in Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout: Symbol Meaning Presentation Example ------ ------- ------------ ------- S millisecond (Number) 978 Z RFC 822 time zone (Text) -0800 ' escape for text (Delimiter) '' single quote (Literal) ' I would have added them myself in a patch, but maybe it makes more sense to keep everything in L::L4p::DateFormat and simply link to it, so the same information doesn't have to be maintained in two places. Also, the links to the Java SimpleDateFormat docs in both L::L4p::DateFormat and L::L4p::Layout::PatternLayout are broken. A quick search gives http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

Thanks for pointing this out, I've consolidated the docs in DateFormat and referred to it from PatternLayout: https://github.com/mschilli/log4perl/commit/fd7eac267bdc0a35a88663231b72d965042191d6 On Wed Aug 31 12:36:10 2016, MHC wrote: Show quoted text
