What are Help Authoring Tools?
Help authoring tools (HAT) are software solutions used to create and publish user manuals, online help systems, FAQs, and other types of documentation for software applications, websites, and products. These tools allow authors to design, write, and structure help content in a way that is easy for users to access and understand. Features of help authoring tools typically include a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, multi-format export options (e.g., HTML, PDF, CHM), built-in templates, search functionality, and support for multimedia integration (such as videos and images). These tools are essential for creating in-app help, troubleshooting guides, and product documentation to improve user experience and provide support.
