Hi Chathura,
I suppose you could use the PatternLayout's regex and replacement's feature
(https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html#PatternLayout).
It does feel like a brute-force solution though.
Perhaps a more elegant solution would be to have a notation in the
PatternLayout that expresses the use of markers on non-empty strings.
Maybe something like %wrap{%x}{[}{]}
I've had a use for something like that in the past as well.
Please create a JIRA to request a feature request. Patches welcome!
