Currently, our logging system does not provide a direct way to switch between pure text and HTML-formatted log outputs. This limitation can be restrictive in scenarios where logs need to be rendered directly in web interfaces or where specific formatting requirements (e.g., for highlighting, linking, or styling) are desired.

To enhance the flexibility and usability of our logging capabilities, I propose the addition of a new configuration parameter that would allow users to specify the desired output format for logs. This parameter could be easily integrated into our existing logging framework, allowing for seamless transitions between text and HTML modes as needed.

For example:

http://

/job/{optionalFolderPath}/job/{job_name}/{build_number}/execution/node/{nodeId}/wfapi/log?text=true
