Fortran is one of several under-documented babel languages (see
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages.html). There is a
template for users willing to start a first draft of the fortran or
other language documentation (see
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages.html#develop).

All the best,
Tom
