-Enables the outputting of a source map during `render` and `renderSync`. When `sourceMap === true`, the value of `outFile` is used as the target output location for the source map. When `typeof sourceMap === "string"`, the value of `sourceMap` will be used as the writing location for the file.
+When `sourceMap === true`, the value of `outFile` is used as the target output location for the source map with the suffix `.map` appended. If no `outFile` is set, `sourceMap` parameter is ignored.
