problem with openmp directives in gedit/emacs

Hello everyone,

I am facing an awkward situation. I am trying to run a f90 program in Linux with ifort and since it has openmp directives I compile it with the -openmp-report1 option to see that whether the blocks have been successfully parallelized.

The problem  is that gedit doesn't recognize the openmp directive:

!$omp parallel do etc.

it treats it as a comment. Anyone has an idea about it? I also tried

C$omp parallel do etc...

but in that case it produces a compile-time error. Do I have to enable an option in gedit in order to recognize the openmp directives?

I faced the same problem in emacs.

I note that I run successfully the SAME program with Intel Visual Fortran. In Visual Studio openmp directives are properly recognized.

Thank you,

Marios
