Hah! Figures… I’ll just replace it with a static image next time I am at a computer.

Many of you have already seen it, and may already be using it if you're using a development release, but if not, make sure you check out the upcoming new Complex Section tool of TechDraw:

What sort of article?

In depth is generic, something about advanced usage?

Generic by design -- I don't have any specific limit in mind. It could be an article about advanced usage, sure. Or non-advanced usage. Or an overview of a set of related Addons. Etc. We figure you all have more ideas than I can imagine, so we left it open-ended. If you have an idea for any sort of long-ish form article, drop me a line.
