Code Documentation
last edited 6 years ago by stevens
The best summary of available code documenting methods is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_documentation
which includes a list of all popular documentation generating software and a comparison matrix
The following state they support fortran90
There are also commercial products eg for fortran
It is desirable to have the same source code documenting system accross all languages/modules. Doxygen & ROBODoc stand out as possible choices. This really needs a hands on experiment with these two now.
Questions to resolve include
- Can Doxygen be made to work on Fortran90?
- Can ROBODoc work on IDL's?
- which output formats do we really want?
