+Set a name and enable languages for the entire project.

+ project(<PROJECT-NAME> [<language-name>...])
-Sets the name of the project. Additionally this sets the variables
-<projectName>_BINARY_DIR and <projectName>_SOURCE_DIR to the
-respective values.
+Sets the name of the project and stores the name in the

+ :variable:`<PROJECT-NAME>_BINARY_DIR`
Optionally you can specify which languages your project supports.
-Example languages are CXX (i.e. C++), C, Fortran, etc. By default C
-and CXX are enabled. E.g. if you do not have a C++ compiler, you can
-disable the check for it by explicitly listing the languages you want
-to support, e.g. C. By using the special language "NONE" all checks
-for any language can be disabled. If a variable exists called
-CMAKE_PROJECT_<projectName>_INCLUDE, the file pointed to by that
-variable will be included as the last step of the project command.
-
-The top-level CMakeLists.txt file for a project must contain a
-literal, direct call to the project() command; loading one through the
-include() command is not sufficient. If no such call exists CMake
-will implicitly add one to the top that enables the default languages
-(C and CXX).
+Example languages are ``C``, ``CXX`` (i.e. C++), ``Fortran``, etc.
+By default ``C`` and ``CXX`` are enabled if no language options are
+given. Specify language ``NONE`` to skip enabling any languages.
