# Context-Sensitive Help Plug-ins with DITA

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.

The DITA map markup does not require DITA specializations; it relies entirely on standard DITA-XML elements and attributes.

- UI Plug-ins Associated with Help Contexts
  DITA maps for context-sensitive help plug-ins must contain a <topicmeta> element as the first child of the <map> element, and for each UI plug-in whose help context IDs are identified in the map, that <topicmeta> element must contain one <othermeta> element that identifies the UI plug-in.
- Related Topics Associated with Help Contexts
  DITA maps for context-sensitive help plug-ins contain <resourceid> elements, each of which identifies a concrete help context ID associated with a DITA topic.
- Context-Specific Help Content
  The ditamap requires specific markup to implement context-sensitive help.
