Help Authoring Tools (HATs)

Help Authoring Tools (HATs) are software applications used to create, organize, and publish help documentation and user guides. They streamline the process of developing informative content—such as instructions, FAQs, and tutorials—by providing templates, formatting features, and publishing options. HATs enable technical writers and developers to produce professional, easily navigable help resources that can be integrated into software products, websites, or printed materials. Essentially, they simplify the creation of clear and accessible help content, ensuring users can find the information they need efficiently.
