Absolutely! As a tech writer software documentation is definately a
selling point for me.

When I was comparing Flare and AuthorIt it seemed like they both met
my list of requirements for a HATT. But one of the reasons I went
with Flare was because I'd already discovered that my developers had
never created context sensitive Help links and I found Help topics
written for *developers* that explained how to to link to a Help
system. Sweet! Plus, the Flare Help system was task oriented, and
Author-IT's Help system was more heavily features based.
