# Ruby interface to the excellent Helipad[http://pad.helicoid.net/home.html]
# online note pad.
#        
# Author: Lonnon Foster ([email protected])
#        
# == Overview
#        
# This package provides three classes for working with
# Helipad[http://pad.helicoid.net/home.html]: Helipad, Helipad::Document, and
# Helipad::Response.
#
# The Helipad class does all the heavy lifting. Creating an instance of
# Helipad requires your login credentials.
#
#     hp = Helipad.new("[email protected]", "password")
#
# Armed with an instance of Helipad, you can call its methods to interact
# with Helipad[http://pad.helicoid.net/home.html] documents.
#
# The Helipad::Document class holds the data contained in a
# Helipad[http://pad.helicoid.net/home.html] document. The get method
# returns a Helipad::Document instance. The find, get_all, and get_titles
# methods return an Array of Helipad::Document instances.
#
# The Helipad::Response class holds return data sent by
# Helipad[http://pad.helicoid.net/home.html] that describes the success or
# failure of various actions. The create, destroy, and update methods
# return a Helipad::Response instance.
#        
# == Examples of Use
#
# All of these examples assume that a Helipad object called +hp+ exists.
#
#     hp = Helipad.new("[email protected]", "password")
#            
# === Get an Existing Document
#
#     document = hp.get(3)
#     puts document.source
#
# === Get a Document Formatted as HTML
#
#     puts hp.get_html(3)
#
# === Find Documents
#
#     def how_many(search_term)
#       documents = hp.find(search_term)
#       documents.size
#     end
#
#     find_this = "wombats"
#     puts "#{how_many(find_this)} document(s) were found containing '#{find_this}'."
#
# === Find Documents by Tags
#
#     documents = hp.find(:tag, "work")
#     titles = documents.collect { |doc| doc.title }
#     puts "Documents tagged with 'work':\n  #{titles.join("\n  ")}"
#
# === Create a Document
#
#     source = File.read("cake_recipe.txt")
#     response = hp.create(:title  => "Delicious Chocolate Cake",
#                          :tags   => "recipe dessert",
#                          :source => source)
#     puts "Recipe saved" if response.saved?
#
# === Delete Documents
#
#     doc_ids = hp.find(:tag, "incriminating").collect { |doc| doc.doc_id }
#     doc_ids.each do |id|
#       hp.destroy(id)
#     end
