This may not be exactly what you're thinking of, but I saw this
referenced on Reddit recently:

A couple of months ago there was a discussion of practical problems with
adding examples to all man pages.
Someone pointed to a website of examples indexed by man page name.
Unfortunately I didn't bookmark it and my attempts to do a web search
failed.
Does anyone recall the URL?

Also, other man pages are similarly converted. Really, man pages are

Yes. A "webby" solution can have two benefits in my environment:
a. may minimize download downloaded byte count.
b. following intervening links and cross references can lead to
answering important
/share/doc/... .
*PROBLEM*
As package is not installed, that directory does *NOT* exist.
Where to find referenced documentation on the web?
NOTE BENE
This post is about man pages as a class.
