+Application file generator
+==============================
+
+This small utility let you run a command line to generate a derived HTML file
+from the original `static web client output <https://trame.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools.www.html>`_ 
+to run a specific application from a launcher configuration.
+
+In order to use that tool, you will need to provide the path of the base
+application to use as template along with the name of the application you
+aim to run from your launcher config.
+This tool will then create a new HTML file within the same directory that
+will start the provided application name rather than the default "trame" one.
+
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    python -m trame.tools.app --input ./www-content --name MySuperApp
+    # => create file MySuperApp.html from ./www-content/index.html
