I was told by brosgol@gnat.com (working on fixing the issues I pointed out
in gnat_rm.texi) that they preferred to use the standard Ada convention of
italics for comments, via a @cmt{} macro.

gnat-style, not gnat-syle (twice in this line).

The GNU Coding Standards say that
Please credit the principal human writers of the manual as the
authors, on the title page of the manual. If a company sponsored the
work, thank the company in a suitable place in the manual, but do not

This probably needs to go on your list of open issues for someone to fix.
