- *   Log can use a static mutex for thread safety. To use this feature, you have to #define LOG_MULTITHREAD at the top of log.hpp.
+ *   Log can use a static mutex for thread safety. To use this feature, you have to `#define LOG_MULTITHREAD` @b before including `log.hpp`.
  *   Note that log uses the default std::cout buffer, so you should make sure it is not being used while logging something.
  *
  *  @subsection log_logfile Logfile
  *   The logs can be written to a logfile, which can be specified in the constructor.
  *   The logs are not continuously written to the logfile, since file operations are expensive. 
  *   Instead, the log is stored in memory and written to the file if a certain number of lines is reached, which you can specify in the constructor.

+ *   If you want the log to be continuously written to the file, set `writeAfterLines` to 1.
  *
+ *  @subsection log_levels Loglevels
+ *   There are 4 different log levels (0-3), where the higher ones include the lower ones.
+ *   To set the log level to `X`, where `X` is one of {0, 1, 2, 3}, 
+ *   define `#define LOG_LEVEL_X` @b before including `log.hpp`.
+ *   You can then use @ref log0 "logX" or @ref clog0 "clogX".
+ *
+ *   If @ref log0 "logX" function log level is higher than the set log level, 
+ *   the function call will be a noop and thus optimized away be the compiler.
+ *
+ *   @note operator(), log, clog, warning and error are always 'on', regardless of which (if any) log level is defined.

  * @todo Exception policies
