Structured writing

What is structured information?

Structured information consists of predefined, meaningful building blocks. It helps:

• authors to write more efficiently, while guiding them through the process.

• users to find more relevant and clearer information faster.

• content managers and knowledge managers to maintain and publish large amounts of information.

• translators to work more cost-effectively and consistently.

​

That makes structured writing an essential part of our vision on technical information and one of our most popular workshops.
