  Description     : documentation tests for Octave

The Octave-Forge Doctest package finds specially-formatted blocks of 
example code within documentation files.  It then executes the code 
and confirms the output is correct.  This can be useful as part of a 
testing framework or simply to ensure that documentation stays 
up-to-date during software development.

This package will be maintained in the realm of the Debian Octave Group. 
A preliminary version of the package can be built using git-buildpackage 
from the repository 
https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-octave-team/octave-doctest.git
