My current (partial) understanding is that TexLive/LaTeX is broken (not
doxygen): TeXlive provides the tabu LaTeX package
(https://ctan.org/pkg/tabu) that doxygen uses but this tabu package does
not work anymore in TeXlive (not only for doxygen, but for all tabu
users). See #920621/#921272 saying that "upstream is working on it".
Probably this will not be fast as the README.md of tabu on CTAN says:
The original author of tabu appears out of contact, and tabu had not
been updated for several years, finally becoming unusable in 2019 as
updates to other packages mean some of its patched code did not work
as intended.
The package is not being actively maintained however any major
required fixes may be reported to the
https://github.com/tabu-fixed/tabu repository and volunteers there
(currently members of the LATEX3 Team) will attempt to update the
package with any fixes required.
Getting rid of the PDF output as you suggest for eg. HTML is probably best.
Thomas
