> When I was deciding between Author-it, Flare, and Help & Manual several years ago, Author-It didn't make the cut as it didn't support snippets. I wonder if they've added snippets capability/support since then.

Author-it has always supported snippets. They call them "embedded
topics". (That is, you create a topic object with the content that you
want to re-use, format it, and then drag that topic object into
another one.)
