I am interested in giving _groff_ and _gpresent_ a try. I am seasoned LaTeX user. Is there a tutorial that you would recommend to someone like me? Two things that come to my mind that I am concerned with. First, how does groff manage bibliography and citations? Second, peer-reviewed journals usually require submissions to be in Word format or in LaTeX. Is there an easy way to convert a groff document to a Word document or LaTeX? Yours sincerely, Xianwen
