  Description     : Fortran Documentation tool

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.

Ford is already used (if present) by several projects packaged in Debian.

I intend to manage it in Salsa; perhaps in Debian-Science team.
