f90doc

f90doc is an easy-to-learn documentation tool for Fortran 90 written by Erik Demaine. Basically, it generates pages of HTML documentation from Fortran 90 source. The documentation is derived from comments prefixed with !! written (if desired) in a simple and intuitive documentation language whose source is easily readable in the code itself, while formatting nicely in HTML. f90doc is similar to javadoc, but does not require comments to be written in HTML.

Overview
