what is a good way to read STL and boost documentation in emacs?

I am familiar with using info and man commands in emacs, however boost and default STL do not come with man or info pages, instead they come as HTML documentation. especially boost does not seem to have any documentation besides HTML (I could be wrong).

Right now I am trying to put together w3m for quick searching of boost and STL documentation from local documentation directory.

Is there a different way you use emacs to read HTML documentation? is there info pages for boost?

Thanks

There's html2texi project at http://code.google.com/p/html2texi/ I haven't tried it myself (yet), but I intend to.

For STL there is this documentation(info pages), but the last revision was in 2004. For Boost I don't know if it's possible to have a general documentation like man/info pages, because there is no standard on it, each project has its own documentation style far as I know.

thanks. Actually g++ STL seems to have doxygen for all functions.so in principle should be easy to generate info. Boost is the one that I cannot remember well, but yes, documentation is rather spread out format wise
