 NOTE: This process could have been executed for every lookup type at runtime (for each log message). This approach was
 deemed too expensive. If you need a mechanism to replace a variable (other than context/MDC) after logging system
 initialization I would love to hear your use case - please file an issue.
 
+## Patterns in Labels
+
+Alternative way of specifying label contents is via pattern attribute:

+
+This pattern is compatible with
