Syntax highlight the code in the standard document

[jacobwilliams]

The source code in the standards document should be syntax highlighted. Also lowercase. The listings that are in there look like they are from another age.

It's very easy to do in LaTeX (e.g., the listings package).

Yes! I created another issue #56 for the lowercase thing.

I am so glad we created this repository. All these things that I noticed about Fortran at some point in the past, and then forgot. Now we can create issues for them so that we do not forget, and eventually we can fix it.

This will be useful.

More importantly though, it will be very valuable if the standards document provided more code snippets generally. And in the case of new features and facilities, it included source listings, preferably complete ones, say several compilable examples. Toward the latter, those on the committee will just need to work a bit harder to utilize their "mental processors" but I think such an effort will pay great dividends by leading to better descriptions of features in the standard. This will also help compiler implementations, particularly those developed in other languages such as C++ and whose developers don't have much background or need to use Fortran otherwise.

One could imagine going even a step further: #57.
