Ok no probs, I thought the whole reason for CVS was so that it saved downloading an entire copy of the book each time I wanted to update to the latest version.
Thereby making for easier burden for you guys hosting the docs. I'm happy to download a pdf each time (unlimited bandwidth available here) was just trying to help you out.

This would have been more appropriate to post to the asterisk-docs mailing list, but either way. The documentation is written in DocBook. Whatever is checked into CVS is in this format (hence why you see all sorts of tags). We do this because it allows us to all have our own copy of the "code" on our computers where we can write it and check in the sections of documentation much like the source code for Asterisk. This is because files such as PDF and Word documents (or OpenOffice documents) are not easily tracked between changes. If you want to read the documentation in non-XML format, then download a precompiled version off the ADP website in PDF format, or read it online in HTML format (the PDF looks nicer of course). The only reason you even need to use the CVS is to compile your own version of the documentation locally, or to write documentation in DocBook, create a diff and then post it to the asterisk-docs mailing list for review and commitment to the CVS repository. It sounds like you just want to read it. You don't need CVS for this.
