Empty lines in log

[KoalaBear84]

Because of Serilog can't getting their rolling logfiles together I thought, why not let the File part be handled by NLog which has no problem with it.

Which at least getting the rolling log part handled, but now have empty lines because the Serilog sink probably also returns it with a line ending, and NLog adding one too.

nlog.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      autoReload="true"
      internalLogLevel="info"
      internalLogFile="c:\temp\internal-nlog.txt">

    <targets>
        <target xsi:type="File" name="mainLogFile"
                fileName="Log_Main.log"
                archiveFileName="Archives\Main.{##}.log"
                archiveAboveSize="5242880"
                archiveNumbering="Sequence"
                maxArchiveFiles="10"
                layout="${message}" />

        <target xsi:type="File"
                name="quartzSchedulerLogging"
                fileName="Log_QuartzScheduler.log"
                archiveFileName="Archives\QuartzScheduler.{##}.log"
                archiveAboveSize="5242880"
                archiveNumbering="Sequence"
                maxArchiveFiles="10"
                layout="${message}" />
    </targets>
    <rules>
        <logger final="true" name="*Quartz*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="quartzSchedulerLogging" />
        <logger name="*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="mainLogFile" />
    </rules>
</nlog>

Example output:

Am I missing something?

Hmm, I do see a solution/workaround.

Adding lineEnding="None" to the File targets work.

Is this the normal way?

Could a sample nlog.config, including this workaround, be added to the readme?
