Fortran Mode
============
Fortran mode provides special motion commands for Fortran statements
and subprograms, and indentation commands that understand Fortran
conventions of nesting, line numbers and continuation statements.
Fortran mode has its own Auto Fill mode that breaks long lines into
proper Fortran continuation lines.
Special commands for comments are provided because Fortran comments
are unlike those of other languages. Built-in abbrevs optionally save
typing when you insert Fortran keywords.
Use `M-x fortran-mode' to switch to this major mode. This command
runs the hook `fortran-mode-hook' (Note: Hooks).
Fortan mode is meant for editing Fortran77 "fixed format" source
code. For editing the modern Fortran90 "free format" source code, use
F90 mode (`f90-mode'). Emacs normally uses Fortran mode for files with
extension `.f', `.F' or `.for', and F90 mode for the extension `.f90'.
GNU Fortran supports both kinds of format.
Motion- Fortran MotionMoving point by statements or subprograms.

Comments- Fortran CommentsInserting and aligning comments.
Autofill- Fortran AutofillAuto fill minor mode for Fortran.
Columns- Fortran ColumnsMeasuring columns for valid Fortran.
