Have you actually looked at groff.texinfo? A pdf-Version can be found
at
http://groff.ffii.org/groff/groff-1.19.2.pdf
Comments (and patches!) to improve this are highly welcome.

Thanks for the pdf. I had a look at the previous version a while ago
but a China tour
rudely interrupted my studies of it :-)
I hope that soon I'll be back to learning the differences from old
troff and then I'll send you comments.
Certainly I would like to see a groff manual written in groff, with
plenty of colour and graphics.
Not for colour and graphics sake, but colour can help with "at a
glance"-type organization
and technical examples can show that this thing is no less than Word
but more.
Just if you could increase the 40 kB posting limit a bit, please.
It is a nice little storm you managed to stir up with editors, etc.
I've learned a lot, got
a few ideas and might just buy X-keys to work with vi to insert groff
into documents...
It is good that these comments were not cut-off 'cause not that closely
related to groff.
Another interesting thing was the memories of typesetters etc. Would
like to see a statistics re
how young on this list we are. Mine youngness is not secret: 70.
Actually one less, but when I say
the word, people just smile: "Oh, yeah..."
