I'm not sure how this solves the problem. If each user sets up the
formatting editor the way they like, then you're still going to get
lots of different formats. On the other hand, if one person sets up
the formatting editor (e.g. using ada-mode on emacs) then no one has
to worry about how it looks as the editor will have taken care of it.
