    /**
     * Console creates a visualization for messages logged through calls to a YUI
     * instance's <code>Y.log( message, category, source )</code> method.  The
     * debug versions of YUI modules will include logging statements to offer some
     * insight into the steps executed during that module's operation.  Including
     * log statements in your code will cause those messages to also appear in the
     * Console.  Use Console to aid in developing your page or application.
     *
     * Entry categories &quot;info&quot;, &quot;warn&quot;, and &quot;error&quot;
     * are also referred to as the log level, and entries are filtered against the
     * configured logLevel.
