Abstract
Authoring tools play two very critical roles in Web accessibility. They offer a powerful mechanism for promoting the creation of accessible Web content. They are also the key to ensuring that people with disabilities are not just consumers, but also producers of Web content, an essential criterion for full participation in our Web-mediated society. This chapter discusses the important role that inclusively design authoring tools play in achieving equitable participation in the complex adaptive system that is the Web.
