You need check-out permission to view embedded documentation, because if you can directly view any file that has been checked into the repo, that is mostly the same as being able to check-out. If you want to allow users without check-out permission to see a limited selection of documents, then you can go to the /Admin/Access setup page and scroll down to the "Public Pages" entry box. "Public Pages" is a comma-separated list of glob patterns for pages that are accessible by anybody. Enter something like /doc/trunk/public/* into this box to permit anyone to view the latest trunk versions of documents in the public subfolder, for example. -- D.
