Re: [photran] Documentation Tools
|
Der all,
this is a follow-up to a thread on documentation tools from almost two
years ago.
I am quite new to Fortran an am really frustrated by the lack of proper
(free) documentation tools available. How comes there is nothing
comparable to Javadoc or Doxygen in the world of Fortran (sorry, this is
off-topic)?
Anyway. To me, Photran is a really promising project and adding support
for a documentation tool looks like a natural next step to me.
Spiros Xanthos has pointed out that Photran is not about developing such a
tool (fair enough) but also that making an existing documentaion tool
available as a Photran plug-in would be apprecitated.
Back then, Craig Rasmussen was collecting documentation tool features for
a proposal. Craig, has this proposal ever taken off? What were your
findings when preparing it?
If you use automatic documentation tools, which one do you use and what is
your experience?
Cheers, Manfred

We are currently looking for a tool which helps us documenting our
Fortran 90 code. We have been looking e.g. at f90doc or robodoc.
Is there a tool or certain documentation syntax which can or will be
supported by photran?

Are there any other tools that you have worked with or know about (e.g.,
doxygen)? We aren't necessarily looking to develop new tools, but rather
to integrate existing tools into Eclipse.

We do not support any tool for generating documentation and we are not
planning to. Because of the nature of Eclipse the best way to have a tool
like this in Eclipse would be to port one of the existing tools into
Eclipse as a plugin. If anyone is volunteering to do that, we will be
happy to distribute it with Photran.
