# Formatting

This section covers topics regarding the process of rendering [log events](/logging/concepts/log-events.md) to text that happens inside text-based log implementations ([console](/logging/implementations/console-log.md) and [file](/logging/implementations/file-log.md) logs):

* [Output templates](/logging/concepts/formatting/output-templates.md) as a primary output customization tool.
* [Special predefined properties](/logging/concepts/formatting/special-tokens.md) available in output templates.
* [Format specifiers](/logging/concepts/formatting/format-specifiers.md) for property values.
