</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> CogentHelp is a prototype tool for authoring dynamically generated on-line help for applications with graphical user interfaces, embodying the &amp;quot;evolution-friendly&amp;quot; properties of tools in the literate programming tradition. In this paper, we describe CogentHelp, highlighting the usefulness of certain natural language generation techniques in supporting software-engineering goals for help authoring tools -- principally, quality and evolvability of help texts.</Paragraph>
