Description:
  Good evening
  
  I guess you great Doc has for almost every item in {{logback.xml}} a table which explains all properties (Property Name, Type and Description), e.g. here: [FileAppender|http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html#FileAppender]
  
  Unfortunately, the properties for {{<logger>}} are missing, I guess (I have checked each Manual page).
  
  And while I'm not sure, I suspect that a {{<logger>}} Name is not just some free text but it affects the logger behaviour. For example, I never get a log entry in this logger:
  
  {{<logger name="MyRollingFileLogger" level="TRACE">
   <appender-ref ref="RollingFile" />
   </logger>
   }}
  
   
  
  If my guess is right that a logger's name affects the logging behavior, it would be great if you could write a note about it, for example here: [Configuring loggers, or the <logger> Element|[http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#loggerElementhttp://example.com|http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#loggerElement]]
  
   
  
  Thanks a lot, kind regards,
  Thomas
