I can give you a troff example together with jconsole.  Here
is the troff document source, file "unfair.ms":

Recent studies show that not all numbers are created equal.
Some are apparently greater than others:

.nf             \" no paragraph filling
.cs R 36        \" constant spacing for the Roman font
.rd             \" read matter fromm stdin  (J output) up to an empty line
.cs R           \" disable constant spacing

Conclusions and Summary

Ain't that unfair?
For quantitative evaluations, further grants are required.

I run a slightly pimped variation of "jconsole" to create the data
from the command line and push that together with an empty line into
the formatting process:

  ( jfront -q -e '> table i. 5' ; echo ) | groff -ms unfair.ms > unfair.ps

You can view the PostScript output at http://juggle.gaertner.de/bnp/unfair.ps

For larger or multiple uses of J, I'd use J scripts, create output files
containing the J data, and ".so" source those into the troff document.
A small Makefile would tie everything together.
