Hi Gareth,

AuthorIT is an excellent authoring tool, though it works somewhat
differently than the other tools you've probably evaluated (RoboHelp,
Doc-To-Help, etc.). Among the benefits of AuthorIT are very clean and
compact code in the HTML output, a database model that really enables
multiple authors to work on the same project at the same time (despite
marketing claims you may have heard, other tools DO NOT support this),
and support for true single sourcing to multiple output formats (ditto
re marketing claims). I'd definitely suggest it's worth a look.

Hi, Techwhirlers,

I'm looking at various authoring packages for a client. They've always
generated documentation internally before, and aren't yet convinced of
the
ROI involved. I'm familiar with most of the products out there, but I'd
not
seen AuthorIT. Before I spend time playing with the eval, does anyone
work
with this?

Cost is definitely a factor here, and I'd love not to have to recommend
an
$800 package!
