Description

Thanks for providing FORD. It wasn't hard to convince our team to use it.


Could there be an option to "turn off" some components on the homepage, specifically the jumbotron summary and the author description. I would like to still include the options like `author` and `project_url` to preserve metadata, but I don't need the buttons to show in the jumbotron area.

I know I can turn off some of these elements by not including them in the project file options, like author details. However, if you don't include `author` and `author_description`, then the copyright footer doesn't make sense..."Fortran Program was developed by" (by who?). (Maybe there is a way to customize the footer text I don't know about).

Also, if I don't include `summary` and related options, the jumbotron is still rendered adding unnecessary clutter.

Perhaps options `display_jumbotron: false` and `display_author: false` could control these elements.

Thanks for your consideration.
