Re: Continuation of comments in f90-mode with auto-fill

[Nicolas Bock <nicolasbock@gmail.com>]

Hi Bernardo,

that's awesome! Thanks! However, it's not quite working, although it's
almost there. I added this to my ~/.emacs file:

(add-hook 'f90-mode-hook
 (lambda ()
   (setq comment-start "!> ")
   (setq comment-continue "!! ")))

Hoping to be able to type something like this with the right indentation:

  !> A subroutine.
  !!
  !! @param a Parameter a.

However, what is happening is the following. I start the first line
and hit enter at the end. The cursor is positioned underneath the
"!>", so all is good. But no "!! " is inserted. Then I type "!!
@param..." and hit enter, and the line is moved all the way to the
left, so not aligned anymore with the comments above it. Could you
suggest some other variable(s) I could change?

Thanks already,

nick
