I recently added [this question on SO](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5902631/could-not-load-file-or-assembly-spring-core), which contained a large chunk of log file output. I found it most readable when I formatted as code: LOG: User = eggtech024-PC\eggtech024 LOG: DisplayName = Spring.Core, Version=1.3.1.40711, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=65e474d141e25e07 (Fully-specified) ... snip ... WRN: Comparing the assembly name resulted in the mismatch: Minor Version ERR: Failed to complete setup of assembly (hr = 0x80131040). Probing terminated. Downside of this approach is that it smart-formats code constructs it recognizes, which isn't really useful. What is the preferred way of formatting log-file like output?
