description:
This is an automatic documentation generator for modern Fortran programs.
FORD stands for FORtran Documenter. As you may know, "to ford" refers to
crossing a river (or other body of water). It does not, in this context,
refer to any company or individual associated with cars.
Ford was written due to Doxygen's poor handling of Fortran and the lack of
comparable alternatives. ROBODoc can't actually extract any information from
the source code and just about any other automatic documentation software I
found was either proprietary, didn't work very well for Fortran, or was
limited in terms of how it produced its output. f90doc is quite good and I
managed to modify it so that it could handle most of Fortran 2003, but it
produces rather ugly documentation, can't provide as many links between
different parts of the documentation as I'd like, and is written in Perl
(which I'm not that familiar with and which lacks the sort of libraries
found in Python for producing HTML content).
The goal of FORD is to be able to reliably produce documentation for modern
Fortran software which is informative and nice to look at. The documentation
should be easy to write and non-obtrusive within the code. While it will never
be as feature-rich as Doxygen, hopefully FORD will be able to provide a good
alternative for documenting Fortran projects.
