Yes three terminal voltage regulators look diodes, I think. Not being able to download PDFs would be annoying. Best to just do a delete/reinstall on the browser.
That PDF files is all you need. Use "git clone" to download the file. The other stuff on lithium is only useful if you want to understand how it works or join the group of people contributing to the design of the next version.
