Summary:              User manual: unclear providers list in "Binding with a logging framework at deployment time"
Issue Type:           Improvement
Assignee:             SLF4J developers list
Created:              04/May/23 22:04
Priority:             Minor
Reporter:             Philippe Cloutier
Severity:             normal
Description:
  [The _Binding with a logging framework at deployment time_ section of the user manual|https://www.slf4j.org/manual.html#swapping] contains right after the first paragraph a list of ~7 providers.
  
  Unfortunately, there is no description of that list. It is unclear whether it contains a list of all providers, or just a list of some providers. It would prevent confusion to indicate which providers are listed.
  
  The current situation makes it likely readers will interpret the list as a full list of providers. If I understand correctly, this would be very problematic, as the list in fact omits major providers including those for Log4j version 2 (mainly log4j-slf4j2-impl).
  
  P.S. That section still uses the deprecated term "bindings".
