You may wish to have a look at recutils:

could build on it with shell scripts & awk, say).
I've just begun going through the manual
[https://www.gnu.org/software/recutils/manual/]
It appears to be a good match for what I want to do.
I prefer reading manuals offline. Is it available as a single HTML
document?
I have not found it as a single HTML document, but it should be possible to
generate it given that the online variant is also generated -- the HTML
source
tells it was generated by `makeinfo` which you can find it in package
texinfo.
On a Debian system with deb-src lines and texinfo installed, I could do:
$ aptitude source recutils
$ mkdir sub
$ tar -C sub -xf recutils_1.7.orig.tar.gz
$ cd sub
$ makeinfo --html ./recutils-1.7/doc/recutils.texi
Afterwards, the generated HTML files (not a single document, but the same
view you find online) were available in directory `sub/recutils`.
If it is just about offline reading and less about the HTML: Seems the
complete documentation is shipped as part of Debian package recutils
(access it via `info recutils`).
