module CodeRay
  
  # = Duo
  #
  # A Duo is a convenient way to use CodeRay. You just create a Duo,
  # giving it a lang (language of the input code) and a format (desired
  # output format), and call Duo#highlight with the code.
  # 
  # Duo makes it easy to re-use both scanner and encoder for a repetitive
  # task. It also provides a very easy interface syntax:
  # 
  #   require 'coderay'
  #   CodeRay::Duo[:python, :div].highlight 'import this'
  # 
  # Until you want to do uncommon things with CodeRay, I recommend to use
  # this method, since it takes care of everything.

    # Create a new Duo, holding a lang and a format to highlight code.
    # 
    # simple:
    #   CodeRay::Duo[:ruby, :html].highlight 'bla 42'
    # 
    # with options:
    #   CodeRay::Duo[:ruby, :html, :hint => :debug].highlight '????::??'
    # 
    # alternative syntax without options:
    #   CodeRay::Duo[:ruby => :statistic].encode 'class << self; end'
    # 
    # alternative syntax with options:
    #   CodeRay::Duo[{ :ruby => :statistic }, :do => :something].encode 'abc'
    # 
    # The options are forwarded to scanner and encoder
    # (see CodeRay.get_scanner_options).
