Thank you.  Having a plaintext output would be nice as well.  I don't 
run a GUI on my Asterisk boxes.  Having to download the HTML docs to a 
machine with a GUI and a web browser would also be a hassle just to look 
up 1 page of docs.  Even with things like URPMI/YUM/APT-GET, getting TeX 
installed would be a significant hassle.
