Call me old-fashioned, but I still think the papers in Volume 2
of the Seventh Edition manual are a good straightforward start.
There's a tutorial on troff, and papers introducing eqn, tbl,
and refer.

Why am I not surprised that "A TROFF Tutorial" is written by Brian
Kernighan.

I would also recommend finding a copy of "Software Tools" or "Software
Tools in Pascal" (or both!) and reading the chapters where they
write a "little brother" to nroff, explaining many of the basic ideas
along the way.
