"""Public logging API for test libraries.

This module provides a public API for writing messages to the log file
and the console. Test libraries can use this API like::

    logger.info('My message')

instead of logging through the standard output like::

    print '*INFO* My message'

In addition to a programmatic interface being cleaner to use, this API
has a benefit that the log messages have accurate timestamps.

If the logging methods are used when Robot Framework is not running,
the messages are redirected to the standard Python ``logging`` module
using logger named ``RobotFramework``.

Log levels
----------

It is possible to log messages using levels ``TRACE``, ``DEBUG``, ``INFO``,
``WARN`` and ``ERROR`` either using the :func:`write` function or, more
commonly, with the log level specific :func:`trace`, :func:`debug`,
:func:`info`, :func:`warn`, :func:`error` functions. The support for the
error level and function is new in RF 2.9.

By default the trace and debug messages are not logged but that can be
changed with the ``--loglevel`` command line option. Warnings and errors are
automatically written also to the console and to the *Test Execution Errors*
section in the log file.

Logging HTML
------------

All methods that are used for writing messages to the log file have an
optional ``html`` argument. If a message to be logged is supposed to be
shown as HTML, this argument should be set to ``True``. Alternatively,
:func:`write` accepts a pseudo log level ``HTML``.

Example
-------

::

    from robot.api import logger

    def my_keyword(arg):
        logger.debug('Got argument %s.' % arg)
        do_something()
        logger.info('<i>This</i> is a boring example.', html=True)
