Ok. About this topic, AdaGIDE does colorise nice.
For printing/postscript copy, the standard LaTeX package Listings produces an
irresistible result (bold/italics/..., proportional fonts but correct column
alignment) - really an eye-catcher ;-) ! For hypertext, the "gnathtml" tool
does an impressive job (sucessful gnatmake -> gnathtml -> a complete sub-web
site with all hyperlinks, coloured texts, frames, indexes!) e.g.
