<div><p>Any DITA map document that defines an online documentation (doc) plug-in can be
modified to also define a corresponding context-sensitive help plug-in by
inserting the appropriate context-related markup.
</p>
<p>The DITA map markup does not require
DITA specializations; it relies entirely on standard DITA-XML elements and
attributes.

DITA maps for context-sensitive help plug-ins must contain a &lt;topicmeta&gt; element as the first child of the &lt;map&gt; element, and for each UI plug-in whose help context IDs are identified in the map, that &lt;topicmeta&gt; element must contain one &lt;othermeta&gt; element that identifies the UI plug-in.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../../../../../projects/dtp/dtp/en/source/c_related_topics_associated_with_help_contexts.html">Related Topics Associated with Help Contexts</a></strong><br/>
DITA maps for context-sensitive help plug-ins contain &lt;resourceid&gt; elements, each of which identifies a concrete help context ID associated with a DITA topic.</li>
