Topic-based AUTHORING is a modular approach to writing, where you WRITE a text containing one or two paragraphs on one topic. These topics can be combined to create a page in a PDF document and also can be organized to create an online Help system. They are reusable topics across the different document and can be published in different media. This approach HELPS the technical writer to write more clearly as each topic is mostly about a specific subject and has a recognizable CAUSE or purpose.
