TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I haven't checked this, but I doubt that you can get through any college
cirriculum without using a large number of textbooks with numbered sections.
Thus, if your readership is college-educated, books with numbered
sections should be a complete non-issue as far as "intimidating the
reader" goes.
I don't remember enough about high-school textbooks to know whether it's
true for that level, too.
