> Do you really think that troff is suitable for large, modern

Yes. Entire operating systems have been documented with it. In
addition, the excellent GNU Troff (groff) system by James Clark and a
host of others will produce Postscript or HTML output, among other
formats.
But I like even simpler systems, such as runoff or roff.

For my purposes, two or three.
> How easy is it to install it on Windows?
No idea. I try to avoid that particular tarpit.
> How good are the PDFs generated from it?
Very good.
> How is it converted to HTML?
The tool "grops" included with groff.
