Context Sensitive Help in Different Formats

I have a large help project in Robohelp HTML 8.  My project manager would like to have context sensitive help for many objects in our application.  I believe that context sensitive help cannot be used if you are generating a WebHelp format, but that it can be used for a Microsoft HTML format (chm file).  Is this correct?

If it is true, please don't tell the help that I generate!

There are many ways that webhelp can be called to produce CSH. See Calling WebHelp on my site.

Just to clarify, can I create CSH using a map file or topic ids if I am generating a chm file as my layout instead of WebHelp, or do I have to do something different. Sorry to be dense, but I am trying to wrap my head around this after a 7 year absence from writing help systems.

I thought you had CHM help working as CSH and were looking to go to WebHelp?

Both outputs can be used to provide CSH.

How the topics are called will be decided by your developer.
