Structured Authoring

Structured authoring is a method of creating documents that uses a defined format and consistent organization, often with the help of specialized tools. It involves breaking content into logical, reusable pieces, such as headings, paragraphs, and sections, following specific rules. This approach makes documents easier to manage, update, and adapt for different audiences or formats. Think of it like building with interchangeable Lego blocks—each part has a purpose and fits into the larger structure seamlessly. Structured authoring improves clarity, quality, and efficiency, especially for complex or technical documentation.
