Re: "Fortran" missing "in List of supported code block languages"?

[John Kitchin <johnrkitchin@gmail.com>]

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:

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.)
