The Handler is responsible for formatting the message, when and if necessary. The formatting should include localization.

Parameters:

record - description of the log event. A null record is silently ignored and is not published

compareTo in class AbstractLogHandler

Parameters:

o - the other handler

Returns:

less than 0, equal to 0, or greater than 0 if the handler is less, equal to, or greater than this one
