#Backbone

Backbone is the Zentext API. This API will allow web apps to send messages over text or email. Future versions will allow video conferencing.

##Sending Messages You can send a message by calling zentext.send(a, b, c);.
a is the content (in HTML or Text form).
b is the address to send to.
c is the type of message you are sending. Accepted types are email and mobile.

Note: Not all messaging methods support HTML, on those that do not, Zentext will automatically convert it to Plain Text.

##Getting the results of an operation You can get an operation's results by doing foo = zentext.results(a);.
a tells Zentext how to format the result list. Current values are plain, array and html.

Note: If you do not specify a format, Zentext will return results in a Plain Text format.

##Checking the type of an address You can find out what kind of address a user has entered by doing foo = Zentext.checkType();.
Zentext will return the string 'mobile' if it is a telephone number or 'email' if it is an email.

##Testing These are the required steps to test out the app:

1. download the latest python 2.7.x release

2. download the Google App Engine SDK for python for your operating system

3. for the email functionality:

   1. sign up for manrill
   2. create a new api key
   3. paste the key into a file in the root directory of the repo called key.txt
