<<details on using EMACS for this purpose snipped>>

Yes it is of course fine to use any tools you like for
formatting your code. I personally don't like editors that
intefere with what I type, but many people can't live
without them :-)

I am not quite sure of the context of this remark, but in
fact ACT supplies versions of EMACS with Ada mode
formatting, and we maintain and enhance this mode. Much
of this work goes far beyond just EMACS. Most
significantly, version 3.11 of GNAT provides automatic
cross-referencing facilities that are fully utilized by
the version of EMACS distributed with 3.11.

We expect to be making official releases of 3.11p starting
tomorrow.
