Visit:
http://www.pdxlinux.org/dc/
And enter "template" in the search box at the bottom of the left panel.
The "/dc/" URL is provided by the "doc-central" package and "doc-base".
The STL documentation you'll find there is provided by the (drum roll
please) "stl-manual" package. You don't need to use a web server and
doc-central to access that STL manual on localhost; you can always get
to it directly via a file:// URL.
You will also find that the "devhelp" books and/or the *-doc packages (
in particular, the libc-doc) contain usefully available documentation.
Try "devhelp" and see if you like it, and also try "info libc" once as
well.
