Module tf.app

"""
Make use of a corpus.

The advanced-API provides extra functionality of top of the core of TF.
The most notable things are downloading corpus data and methods for (pretty)
display corpus material.

The real power of the advanced API is unleashed when there are well-tuned configuration
settings for a corpus, and possibly some supporting application code and CSS styling.

This power can be invoked by a very simple command: `use("org/repo")`.

For a detailed description, see `tf.about.usefunc`.

    The app, main data, data of standard modules of a corpus will be zipped

    It is assumed that you have cloned the repo of the corpus and the repos

    The latest version will be used.

    You can also do this completely from the command line.

    Go to the toplevel of your local clone and say:

    ```
    tf-zipall
    ```

    The complete.zip is created in your downloads folder, under your backend,
