+//! This crate provides logging functions and configuration for [Bevy](https://bevyengine.org)
+//! apps, and automatically configures platform specific log handlers (i.e. WASM or Android).
+//!
+//! The macros provided for logging are reexported from [`tracing`](https://docs.rs/tracing),
+//! and behave identically to it.
+//!
+//! By default, the [`LogPlugin`] from this crate is included in Bevy's `DefaultPlugins`
+//! and the logging macros can be used out of the box, if used.
+//!
+//! For more fine-tuned control over logging behavior, insert a [`LogSettings`] resource before
+//! adding [`LogPlugin`] or `DefaultPlugins` during app initialization.
