Best Help Authoring Tools (HAT) - Page 3

Adam Crivello
AC
Researched and written by Adam Crivello

Help Authoring Tools (HAT) are programs designed to assist technical writers in designing, publishing, and maintaining software help documentation. The resulting text is used in explanation guides, manuals, and help files. They are aimed at reducing time and effort needed when creating assistance materials for employees and end users. Technical writers will use help authoring tools to create documents from start to finish. With the programs, they are able to write, edit, and export the documents to then be shared with editors, administrators, and other co-workers. Eventually, the help authoring tool will allow writers to publish the documentation digitally. Many of these products will import text in different file formats or document creation software. Some products which do not posess build tools will need to intergate with build automation tools to be viewed or used.

To qualify for inclusion in the Help Authoring Tools (HAT) category, a product must:

Possess tools for editing text, data, or code
Provide an input for source text
Provide an output for help files
Possess tools for adding indexes, content tables, or images
Provide tools for interface customization
