When creating technical documentation, usability, readability, and simplicity are at least just as crucial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design should please the eye, but at the same time it must communicate the content clearly. In addition, paragraph styles and character styles should be efficient to use for the author when writing the document. The layout process should be automated as much as possible. Because most user assistance documents are frequently updated during theit life cycle, an automated layout process is much more important here than with other kinds of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetting up templates and style sheets that are efficient to use when creating and updating user assistance requires a lot of experience in technical writing.
