#AnnoText

A document-based attribution engine for node.

##Philosophy

• The Content itself drives the Version history
• Human & Machine readable YAML storage of document attributions
• Fully serializable (Momento)

Usage

var annotext = require('annotext');
var annotextDocumentProcessor = new annotext();

// create a basic document
var annoTextDoc = annotextDocumentProcessor.create(
				'Here is some sample content',

				'v0.1');
