> Is Lout any easier to use than groff/troff/nroff?
I know Groff by its name, but have never used it.

My intention of using Lout is to produce PDF files (including small pics) without the need of "huge" Ghostscript. Unfortunately Lout's PDF backend is only preliminary (main coder has left) and does still not allow images. So either I have to enhance the PDF backend myself (very unlikely, because I don't understand Lout's source code) or I have stick with Ghostscript. :-|

If there's any C coder around, who wishes to take the task, I'd be very happy to assist. :-)

Another small typesetting system, I mentioned elsewhere, is Halibut from the original author of NASM. Unfortunately Halibut also doesn't know how to cope with images and there's no plan to change this. :-(
