✅ Multiple Output Formats – Supports HTML, PDF (via LaTeX), RTF, and more.
✅ Cross-Reference – Generates hyperlinked documentation with class/method relationships.
✅ Graphs & Diagrams – Can generate call graphs, inheritance diagrams, and collaboration diagrams (requires Graphviz).
✅ Customizable – Supports templates, themes, and detailed configuration via Doxyfile.
