No, i'm not aware of tutorials (but i generally don't use tutorials, so maybe i missed them). But there is good reference documentation: https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/html_node/ Gpresent is a macro package specifically for presentation slides. The documentation is in the groff_present(7) and presentps(1) manual pages in the textproc/gpresent package and in the groff_mm(7) manual page in the textproc/groff package. > Two things that come to my mind that I am concerned with. > > First, how does groff manage bibliography and citations?

If your publisher requires LaTeX, use LaTeX; it's really that simple... Yours, Ingo
