Unlike the custom HTML module, this module is actually assigned articles. This is great for me cause it allows the ability to include content plugins (i.e. pagebreaks, etc) and keep all my stuff organized in Articles as opposed to switching to the module config.

Does what it claims, allowing you to turn text into images in any article. I'm using in tandem with http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,4175/Itemid,35/ to load a (now) dynamic site slogan image into a module position.

Takes a bit of know how, luckily I already knew the gd library so it was a cinch to set up. It isn't ready to go right out of the box. But the plugin parameters config is fully loaded with hints and tips on what each parameter means.

Definately looking foward to future iterations, perhaps some preloaded fonts, maybe custom image backgrounds ala
$bg = imagecreatefrompng("path/to/some/image.png");
imagesettile($canvas, $bg);

So keep it up.
