Writing my PhD using groff by Joshua Stutter has detailed comparison of various typesetting tools like

  • pdflatex
  • lualatex
  • xelatex
  • latexmk
  • tectonic
  • context
  • wkhtmltopdf
  • weasyprint
  • pagedjs-cli
  • prince
  • pdfroff

Mom - Macros for GNU troff is probably the best place to start using groff, piping text input files into pdfmom which handles the preprocessing with refer, tbl, grap and pic.
