Description of Problem
For context, I'm trying to figure out how to pass an argument to node.exe in a npx command. While researching, the CLI told me to type npm help exec to see more information. This open and a local file in my browser: file:///C:/Program%20Files/nodejs/node_modules/npm/docs/output/commands/npx.html
This file doesn't say which version of npm I'm using anywhere that I can find. As a result, I have no frame of reference compared to the docs I find while googling. I can't tell if I'm reading the latest npm cli docs or if I'm a version behind/ahead of the latest official documentation. It's unlikely I'll notice differences between the online and local articles, but those differences could be critical: they could indicate my current experience would be fixed by upgrading my npm version. It makes it easier to see when a new version of npm exists, and that would probably reduce issues created in this repository, among other benefits.
Potential Solution
Every page of local documentation should say the local version of NPM.
Workaround: this can be cross checked by typing npm -v on the local CLI.
