1. **State the problem:** Find the limit $$\lim_{x\to 2} \frac{\ln x - \ln 2}{x - 2}$$.
2. **Recall the formula:** This limit resembles the definition of the derivative of the function $f(x) = \ln x$ at $x=2$:
$$\lim_{x\to a} \frac{f(x) - f(a)}{x - a} = f'(a)$$.
3. **Derivative of $\ln x$:** The derivative is
$$f'(x) = \frac{1}{x}$$.
4. **Evaluate the derivative at $x=2$:**
$$f'(2) = \frac{1}{2}$$.
5. **Conclusion:** Therefore,
$$\lim_{x\to 2} \frac{\ln x - \ln 2}{x - 2} = \frac{1}{2}$$.
This limit represents the slope of the tangent line to $y=\ln x$ at $x=2$.
