Apparently publishers aren't technical types? Weird. Good thing pandoc can convert markdown to InDesign. Not like I wanted to use LaTeX anyway, I just figured that's what professionals used if not heirloom troff.

@bonifartius I might leave myself a trail of breadcrumbs going through it. But there are a few books on troff/groff typeset with troff/groff already
@bograt i have never found one (save some papers from bell labs) which is not just explaining the default macros but how to write one yourself from scratch.
a okish looking macro can be written in some hundred lines, the hardest part is figuring out how the page traps work :)
