+  Fortran mode can use either style of continuation line.  When you
+enter Fortran mode, it tries to deduce the proper continuation style
+automatically from the buffer contents.  It does this by scanning up to
+@code{fortran-analyze-depth} (default 100) lines from the start of the
+buffer.  The first line that begins with either a tab character or six
+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
