They stopped using troff directly well over 20 years ago.
These days if you're using a markup language and their toolset it's
either Asciidoc or docbook.
I think it depends on who you are and your editor is
at the said firm. Tim
will still take troff
I assume you mean Tim O'Reilly? He hasn't been involved in the book
side of his business in decades, and as I said, troff isn't in the picture
there.
as will John Waite at Pearson.
They farm such things out, they don't accept it in house.
Or the author can provide "camera ready copy", which these days
just means PDF.
That said, as Jon can tell you, Bill will not.
No idea who Bill is.
