    23    Example showing how to extend PatternLayout to recognize additional
    24    conversion characters.
    25
    26    <p>In this case MyPatternLayout recognizes %# conversion pattern. It
    27    outputs the value of an internal counter which is also incremented
    28    at each call.
    29
    30    <p>See <a href=doc-files/MyPatternLayout.java><b>source</b></a> code
    31    for more details.
