AuthorIT
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AuthorIT is a Content management system used by technical writers to produce single-sourced document sets. AuthorIT is often referred to as a Help authoring tool. AuthorIT can produce documentation in the following formats:
- RTF, PDF, or Microsoft Word format for printed documentation
- Microsoft WinHelp
- Microsoft HTML Help
- Sun JavaHelp
- Oracle Help for Java
- Web and browser based help
- HTML/CSS
- XHTML/CSS
- XML
- DITA
AuthorIT stores all information as objects in a central database, giving authors the ability to combine and reuse objects in various ways. Object types include:
- books (containers for content)
- topics (text blocks)
- file objects (graphics)
- hyperlinks
- styles
- glossaries
- tables of contents
- indexes
Because content consists of independent objects, multiple authors can work in the central database (called a library) at the same time.
AuthorIT can be licenced as either Desktop, Workgroup, or Enterprise editions. Further modules that can be licenced include:
- Offline Authoring
- Project Manager
- Localisation Manager
- MIF Import Filter
Third party licences that may be required are:
- Microsoft Word
- Adobe Acrobat
- JavaSoft Runtime Environment
