In the latest version, Doxygen produces HTML and LaTeX, which should cover

I'd like to retire the 'info' format, but the 'info' *program* has
advantages that are not yet bettered:
(1) Works well on terminals.
(2) A nice keyboard interface that is efficient for both browsing
and for sequential reading.

links or lynx handle (1) pretty well, but aren't quite as nice as
the 'info' program.  The Mozilla type-ahead find is a nice feature
for reduced-mousing browsing, but for links/lynx you'd want a
prefix character - 'm' is the obvious choice for info-compatibility.
Commands for sequential navigcation would also be nice.
