Description

I'd like to create a searchable index of all CSS properties with their categories and descriptions, and right now I'd have to pull the data straight out of the Markdown. That's not a huge obstacle, but I'm wondering if it's actually necessary.

Do the Markdown files get updated by hand (and are therefore the only source of truth for the docs), or is there some underlying data from which they are generated? If the latter, would it be feasible to expose this data as e.g. JSON?

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Markdown files containing the CSS properties, then determine whether they are maintained by hand or generated from another source. Clarify the desired searchable index and JSON shape with maintainers; done means an agreed source of truth and documented machine-readable output.
