Map file creation

Check this option to create an external map file in the same directory with the CHM file.

The content of map file depends on its extension:

".h" — C++ code will be generated;
".cs" — C# code will be generated;
".vb" — VB code will be generated;
".inc" — Object Pascal (Delphi) code will be generated.

Then, add this file to your software's source files and pass into HTML Help API functions in your source code the constants from the generated file instead of numeric Help Context ID values.
