As you say, Ansible's filter list does not include the base Jinja2 filters, which I guess is a difference of opinion. I feel that is preferred to reproducing the Jinja2 documentation, especially as the Jinja2 filter list is the first (non-TOC) link on the page.

Also going to disagree about "using Google is cheating". The purpose of documentation is to help me get stuff done. The Internet is not printed on dead trees, I don't want to read through a TOC or index looking for what I want when I'm searching, I want to use a search engine. I often don't want a reference, I want to quickly find how to do something. I rarely want to read about all the filters, instead I want to find the even/odd filter, or the the default or omit filter. Yes, sometimes I want to brush up on all available filters, but that's rare.
