				<p>This appender requires a layout. If no layout is specified in configuration,

			<subsection name="Parameters">
				<p>The following parameters are available:</p>
		
				<table>

							<th>Parameter</th>
							<th>Type</th>
							<th>Required</th>
							<th>Default</th>
							<th>Description</th>
						</tr>
					</thead>
					<tbody>
						<tr>
							<td>file</td>
							<td>string</td>
							<td><strong>Yes</strong></td>
							<td>-</td>
							<td>Path to the target file. Relative paths are resolved based on the working directory.</td>
						</tr>
						<tr>
							<td>append</td>
							<td>boolean</td>
							<td>No</td>
							<td>true</td>
							<td>If set to true, the appender will append to the file, otherwise the file contents will be

			<subsection name="Examples">
				
				<p>This example shows how to configure <code>LoggerAppenderFile</code> to write to <code>file.log</code>
				and to overwrite any content present in the file. The target file will be created in the current 
				working directory.</p>
				
				<p>It is also possible to specify an absolute path to the target file, such as 
				<code>/var/log/file.log</code> or <code>D:/logs/file.log</code></p>
