One is that the developers supply the context ID.  We have experimented
before with both (a) the writers writing material first, and supplying the
context ID (element ID attribute) to the developers, and (b) designing
conventions so the writers know what context ID the developers will choose.
In the end, however, the extra level of indirection provides a flexibility
that helps.

Are you using some proprietary help system, or do you use HTML Help? If you are using HTML Help, you can specify help IDs by PI:

<?dbhh topicname="syntaxe" topicid="20001"?>

Standard XSL stylesheets then will generate appropriate mapping files for compiler automatically for you.
