Can you furnish guide on how to produce context-sensitive help?
Sorry but we don't have such a guide.
A context-sensitive help system is third-party software. We don't sell,
nor promote the use of any particular context-sensitive help system.
Moreover there are many, very different, context-sensitive help systems.
Examples:
- Windows has a context-sensitive help system called "WinHelp".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinHelp
- Java has an obsolete help system called "Java Help" (which we no
longer use in our products). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaHelp
- Eclipse has also a context-sensitive help system.
https://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fua_help.htm
- This context-sensitive help system could also be just your desktop web
browser (or an embedded web browser like the one we use in our products).
Therefore such guide would be difficult to write.
I have an XML file already and was able to generate PDF and Web Help out of it.
It's difficult to help you without knowing anything about your "XML file".
Just in case your "XML file" happens to be a DITA document, please refer
to this FAQ, which may be related to your problem:

I use XMLmind DITA Converter to generate HTML Help. In order to
implement contextual help, my application needs to be able to address
specific sections in the generated .chm file. How can I do this?
