## Usage

Use the `.parse` method directly to return an AST:

```js
var snapdragonCheerio = require('{%= name %}');
var ast = snapdragonCheerio.parse('<strong>It worked!</strong>');
console.log(ast);
// Node {
//   type: 'string',
//   nodes:
//    [ Node { type: 'bos', val: '', index: 0 },
//      Node { type: 'strong', attribs: {}, index: 1, nodes: [Object] },
//      Node { type: 'eos', val: '', index: 2 } ] }
```

**Snapdragon plugin usage**

Pass to [snapdragon][]'s `.use` method to use as a plugin:

```js
var snapdragonCheerio = require('snapdragon-cheerio');
var Snapdragon = require('snapdragon');
var snapdragon = new Snapdragon();
snapdragon.use(snapdragonCheerio());

var ast = snapdragon.parse('<strong>It worked!</strong>');
// Node {
//   type: 'string',
//   nodes:
//    [ Node { type: 'bos', val: '', index: 0 },
//      Node { type: 'strong', attribs: {}, index: 1, nodes: [Object] },
//      Node { type: 'eos', val: '', index: 2 } ] }
```
