spaces determines the choice. If the scan fails (for example, if the
buffer is new and therefore empty), the value of
@code{fortran-tab-mode-default} (@code{nil} for fixed format, and
-non-@code{nil} for tab format) is used. You can tell which style is
-presently in effect by the presence or absence of the string specified

@vindex fortran-continuation-string
If the text on a line starts with the Fortran continuation marker
-specified by @code{fortran-continuation-string} (conventionally
-@samp{$}), or if it begins with any non-whitespace character in column
+@samp{$}, or if it begins with any non-whitespace character in column
5, Fortran mode treats it as a continuation line. When you indent a
continuation line with @key{TAB}, it converts the line to the current
continuation style. When you split a Fortran statement with
@end table

@vindex fortran-break-before-delimiters
Auto Fill breaks lines at spaces or delimiters when the lines get
longer than the desired width (the value of @code{fill-column}). The
-delimiters (besides whitespace) that Auto Fill may break at are
+delimiters (besides whitespace) that Auto Fill can break at are
@samp{+}, @samp{-}, @samp{/}, @samp{*}, @samp{=}, @samp{<}, @samp{>},

-@code{fortran-break-before-delimiters} is @code{nil}. Otherwise (and by
