"Reading between the lines," it seems what you want to do is to
"browse" source files from the standard Ada library.

GNAT provides two easy and effective ways to do this, viz.:

  1.  Use the emacs editor with ada-mode

  2.  Use gnathtml (a perl script) to generate navigable html
       pages showing the source code.

Both of these methods provide color syntax highlighting, and
navigation from a reference to an identifier to its declaration.

Emacs also provides a clickable list of references to an identifier.

I use emacs for developing, and provide html files for projects at
certain milestones in a public directory, so the files can be
browsed by others.

The perl script has a switch that specifies whether you want to
include the standard library in the generated html.
