https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2243337 Bug ID: 2243337 Summary: Review Request: ford - Generate FORtran Documentation from code comments Product: Fedora Version: rawhide OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: Package Review Severity: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: benson_muite@xxxxxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora spec: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/fed500/ford/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/06517293-ford/ford.spec srpm: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/fed500/ford/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/06517293-ford/ford-6.2.5-1.fc40.src.rpm 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. fas: fed500 Reproducible: Always -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
