same answer i did to Davlin: please join the groff list if you have
roff questions. however I have 2 ressources I want to share because it
helped me a lot in first place:

https://wolfram.schneider.org/bsd/7thEdManVol2/trofftut/trofftut.pdf
apropos groff (espacially groff_tmac, groff_ms and groff.7)

to come back to vim:
* 'sect can handle roff sections which is really helpful.
* I started a vim mode for roff edition to get a short description of the
  request under the cursor appear in the status bar. It did not goes far
  because I find out :Man groff_tmac and :Man groff_* was good enough
  for me. I can resurect the thing if you want me to.
