(fortran-mode): Set comment-padding to "$$$". Add fortran-comment-line-start-skip to comment-start-skip. (fortran-comment-indent): Keep whole-line comments in column 0. (fortran-find-comment-start-skip): New arg `all'. If ALL is nil, make sure we only match comment-start-skip if we can't match fortran-comment-line-start-skip. Fix bug that made it return t but without moving point when matching '!'! (a false-comment followed by a real comment). (fortran-indent-comment): Use new `all' argument above. Be careful not to add an incorrect comment-starter like "C" in comment-column. (fortran-split-line): When splitting a comment, reuse the comment starter from the current line rather than fortran-comment-line-start. (fortran-indent-line, fortran-auto-fill): Simplify thanks to the cleaner behavior of fortran-find-comment-start-skip. (fortran-fill): Don't be confused by ! inside a comment. (fortran-break-line): Minor cleanup and simplification.

README for Edition 2.6 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
texinfo.tex.

* Report Lisp Manual bugs to [e-mail].  We don't read
these bug reports until it's time for a new edition.  To report other
Emacs bugs, use [e-mail].  To ask questions, use the
newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.

* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
980 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost
2.5 megabytes.

* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
using TeX.  

* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
For info, send mail to [e-mail] or phone [phone].  Buying a
manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
development work.

** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:

** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
manual is included in this distribution.

The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
`elisp.texi'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
chapters that make up the manual.  In addition, `elisp.texi' has
the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
@titlespec command.

To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
commands in the shell:

% ./configure
% make index.texi
% make elisp.dvi

*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
with `make-permuted-index'.  

** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run
`./configure' and `make elisp'.  To install the Info files, run
`make install'.
