+ ** 
  ** By default, logging is configured such as to emit a small number of informative
  ** messages on the starting terminal and to report fatal errors. But besides the
  ** usual fine-grained tracing messages, we define a small number of distinct
  ** thematic <b>Logging Channels</b> providing a consistent high-level view of
  ** what is going on with regards to a specific aspect of the application
- ** - \c progress documents a high-level overall view of what the application \em does
- ** - \c render focuses on the working of the render engine (without logging each frame)
- ** - \c config shows anything of relevance regarding the configured state of App and session
- ** - \c memory allows to diagnose a high-level view of memory management
- **
+ ** - `progress` documents a high-level overall view of what the application _does_
+ ** - `render` focuses on the working of the render engine (without logging each frame)
+ ** - `config` shows anything of relevance regarding the configured state of App and session
+ ** - `memory` allows to diagnose a high-level view of memory management
+ ** 
  ** Any log level can be overridden by an environment variable, for example
- ** \code NOBUG_LOG='progress:INFO' ./lumiera \endcode
+ ** `NOBUG_LOG='progress:INFO' ./lumiera`
  **
  ** @todo logging to files?    NOBUG_LOG='progress:INFO@file(name=filename)' api to set this statically up by the program will follow  --cehteh
