Description

It would be really helpful for newcomers to have example outputs and explanations in docs.
For example, I spent few hours looking what [self] means in HTML output. I'm sure there will be other cases when there is something different than [self] and it's hard for newcomers to explain why their code spends most of the time there.

Research direction

Start by locating the documentation that explains HTML output and the meaning of [self]. Review the profiler output examples and identify other values that newcomers may find difficult to interpret. Done means the relevant documentation includes representative outputs with explanations; the issue does not name a specific documentation file or test.
