Best bet is DocBook SGML for now (with an eye towards XML/DocBook in the
future).
Indexing is possible (and not terribly difficult), table of contents is
automatic, PDF/PS/RTF/HTML are all possible output formats (and the
output can be customized by modifying the stylesheets).
I've been writing a ton of documentation lately (including a book), so
am knee deep in all this stuff. Let me know if I can lend any advice on
these subjects if you opt to go the DocBook route.
The good thing about DocBook, XML in particular, is that the number of
tools for working with it is just /exploding/, and the amount and
quality of output formats is also on the rise. You can be confident
that a DocBook document will remain viable for many years to come as a
source for print or web output. (And I'm sure you've heard that XML is
the latest buzz word...luckily for us, it deserves most of the buzz it
has garnered lately. It's just that cool.)

it's in sgml now and Wensong puts the other formats
onto the webpage. Can you do an index from an sgml file?
