+We use automated formatting, checked in the CI process, to enforce a unified
+style across the code bases and have these makefile targets to help formatting
+the code base:
 
 * `make style` - Format the `Cabal`, `Cabal-syntax` and `cabal-install` directories.
 * `make style-modified` - Format files modified in the current tree.
 * `make style-commit COMMIT=<ref>` - Format files modified between HEAD and the given reference.
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> We use `fourmolu-0.12.0.0` for formatting. If installing it with `cabal
+> install`, please make sure to use a version of GHC >= 9.2.1 && < 9.8. That it
+> requires `GHC2021` sets the lower bound and its reliance on `ghc-lib-parser`
+> sets the upper bound on GHC versions. The command for installing it this way is:

+> ```
+> $ cabal install fourmolu-0.12.0.0 --overwrite-policy=always --ignore-project
