FORD support for Fortran documentation?

[zbeekman]

The FORD project is pretty awesome, and is a documentation solution built specifically for Fortran source code. It would be great to add support to blt for FORD. It can be configured in such a way as to be mostly comparable with Doxygen source file markup too.

Would you accept a PR implementing this, if I can find the time at some point? (Not likely to happen soon, though.)

Thanks!

@zbeekman, Interesting! Thanks for sharing. Yes, this is something we would be open to.

I think we could easily treat it like Doxygen and Sphinx. (optional, supported in a build if FORD_EXECUTABLE is found)

It looks like FORD is a python package? So it should be easy for us to integrate into our CI testing.

Yes, FORD is available via PyPi (or whatever it's called now) and also installable through the Homebrew package manager for macOS
