Top tools for a Technical Writer
When you are working with content on a daily basis, probably you already have a list of your favorite apps, tools, and services that allow you to work faster with texts and documentation. That's great! But chances are that this list is not perfect. "Fast" is not always equals "efficient".
Sometimes, when you urgently need a new tool for a specific purpose, you just type your search request and then choose the "most relevant" app from the top of the search results. Regardless of its usefulness, this app tends to stay in the favorites forever. As practice shows, this is rather an inefficient method.
This was my case previously. But now, I'm always trying to take some time to compare my new apps with some alternatives and find out whether my choice is the best one. Kind of trials and errors. This is, actually, the way how this list appeared. So, let me share my thoughts on what apps, tools, and services a seasoned Technical Writer must use. Or at least try.

I'd like to use it, but just couldn't get it installed on Windows. So I decided to use VSCode's extension. The documentations about Asciidoc's syntax are easy to reference, though.
Probably the best documentation writing format ever made. With a countless number of features out-of-the-box (with the greatest ones, like sections re-usage, source code inclusion, dynamic variables), Asciidoctor sets a new standard of how technical documentation should be written. The detailed story on this topic you can read in this article.
Asciidoctor provides the richness of DocBook or DITA with the conciseness of Markdown. It's like Markdown's more mature sibling. And it continues to evolve.
