On my BIG TODO list is a project to write man(1) pages for HTML tags. Same issue, I’d rather not Google for stuff. I believe a big reason for software complexity is the ability to Google stuff. If documentation was given priority to be available offline in a digestible format, I believe software would be less complex.
Blatant self-promotion is generally discouraged here for new accounts.

Oh, that’s sweet, I hate when I need to Google status code, thanks!
Yeah, that was the motivation for this project :)
Just want to mention that you can also put a text file in
/usr/share/misc/http.statuswhich can be queried withgrep.I prefer scrapping MDN because they have up-to-date documentation and great examples.
