   LaTeX vs Groff Comments

   Positive comment by RemovedUser · Sep 23, 2020

   It is also very good for professional documents and technical writing, It is more verbose and syntax heavy but there is more information available for it online. it is also much more flexible due to the large amount of packages available.
