## Usage
This package provides two primary methods, **style** and **unstyle**.

### Style
This method is used to style text with IRC attribute and / or color codes.
```python
import ircstyle

ircstyle.style('Hi there', fg='blue', bg='white', bold=True, italics=True, underline=True, reset=True)
'\x0302,00\x02\x1d\x1fHi there\x0f'

ircstyle.style('Hello World!', fg='green', reset=False)
'\x0303Hello World!'

ircstyle.style('ATTENTION!', bold=True, underline=True)
'\x02\x1fATTENTION!\x0f'

ircstyle.style('Something', bg=ircstyle.colors.teal)
'\x0301,10Something\x0f'
```

### Unstyle
This method is used to strip all formatting control codes from IRC messages so that you can safely use the contents outside of IRC in a printable format.
```python
import ircstyle

ircstyle.unstyle('\x02message\x0f')
'message'

ircstyle.unstyle('message')
'message'
```
