Research direction

Start with the logging topic at https://www.dita-ot.org/dev/topics/logging.html and review the linked Logback configuration documentation. Add an example showing how to place a custom logback.xml on the classpath with higher priority than the default, and verify that the documentation clearly explains how it overrides the default settings.

Description

Description

The topic logging explains how to configure FOP logging with logback. It would be great to find an example here of how to add a custom logback.xml file to the classpath.

To enable debug logging, modify the config/logback.xml file or add your own logback.xml to the classpath with a higher priority to override the default settings. For more information, see the Logback configuration documentation.
