    """Base class for applications

    .. _FakeDF: https://github.com/GjjvdBurg/wilderness/tree/master/examples/fakedf

    This is the main Application object that Wilderness applications are
    expected to inherit from. All text that is supplied to the man pages, such
    as the description, can use basic formatting constructs documented in the
    :obj:`ManPage.groffify() <wilderness.manpages.ManPage.groffify>` method.

    Parameters
    ----------
    name : str
        The name of the application.

    version : str
        The version of the application, to be used in creating the man pages.

    author : Optional[str]
        The author(s) of the application. This is used in the man pages, but is
        not actually visible in the output (it is recorded in the metadata
        header of the man pages).

    title : Optional[str]
        The title of the application is used as a short description. It shows
        up in the man pages as the text after the application name in the first
        section.

    description : Optional[str]
        Long description of the application. This is used in the man pages in
        the DESCRIPTION section after the synopsis.

    default_command : Optional[str]
        The default command to run when none is supplied on the command line.
        By default this is omitted and the help text is shown instead, but some
        applications may want to run a particular command as default instead.

    add_help : bool
        Whether to add help commands or not. This adds support for the
        traditional help flags ``-h`` or ``--help`` for the short help text on
        the command line, as well as the ``help`` command that opens the man
        pages for the subcommands of the application. Note that the short help
        text on the command line typically provides a list of available
        commands.

        See the `FakeDF`_ example for an application where this is not
        enabled.

    extra_sections : Optional[Dict[str, str]]
        Additional sections of documentation for the man page. This is expected
        to be provided as a dictionary where the keys are the section headers
        and the values are the section text. Basic formatting constructs such
        as lists and enumerations are understood by the text processor (see
        :obj:`ManPage.groffify() <wilderness.manpages.ManPage.groffify>` for
        further details).

    prolog : Optional[str]
        Text to be shown in the short command line help text, before the
        (grouped) list of available commands. Newline characters are preserved.

    epilog: Optional[str]
        Text to be shown in the short command line help text, after the list of
        available commands. Newline characters are preserved.

    options_prolog: Optional[str]
        Text to be shown in the man page before the list of options. See the
        `FakeDF`_ application for an example.

    options_epilog: Optional[str]
        Text to be shown in the man page after the list of options. See the
        `FakeDF`_ application for an example.

    add_commands_section: bool
        Whether to automatically generate a section in the application man page
        that lists the available commands.
