* "Fortran" missing "in List of supported code block languages"?

I was starting investigating "Working with source code". I tried with
the bloc: 

   #+BEGIN_SRC fortran
   #+END_SRC

The 'fortran' keyword is indeed recognized in the edit buffer, and, as
far as I can see, everything works quite well.

But I later realized that 'Fortran' is not mentioned in the list of
supported languages, section 14.7 of the org info manual [File: org,
Node: Languages].  Perhaps because it is still in development?  But if
I had checked this list before, I wouldn't even have tried it, waiting
for better times...  Is there an independent way of checking which
languages are supported?

Thanks

(As an aside note, I fail to understand why the 'Emacs Calc' language,
with identifier 'calc', appears before 'C' in the list.  Perhaps
because it is difficult to update such a two-column format, and 'calc'
is close enough to its true place?  But, for me at least, I fell that
a single column would actually be less confusing; and anyway, I
believe a blank line after the "Language ... Identifier" line would
help.)

Package: Org-mode version 8.2.10 (release_8.2.10 @
/usr/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/org/)

Fortran is supported in the sense that you can edit a block in Fortran mode. But you cannot execute a Fortran block directly afaik. You have to tangle it, compile it and then run the executable.

For example like this:

On a file-system level you could do something like:

   ls /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org*/ob* | grep -i fortran
   => /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/ob-fortran.el

In Emacs you could to something like:

   M-x find-library ob- [TAB].

There's also the apropos commands.

Hope it helps,
Rasmus

Thanks for the precision.  I guess it would not hurt to mention this
kind of details in the doc, to some extent at least.

Very helpful.  Seems to me that having such examples (at least the
simple one) in the doc would be extremely helpful to beginners.

That is not true, you can in fact execute fortran blocks directly.
ob-fortran.el has been part of org since 2011. IMO it is a
documentation bug that it is not listed as a supported language.

Best,

Fixed. Thank you.

Perhaps because it is still in development?  But if

Fixed too.

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
