 Why?
 
 - `eval` wraps modules in `eval("string")` and the minimizer does not handle strings.
 - `cheap` has not column information and minimizer generate only a single line, which leave only a single mapping.
 
+The plugin respect the [`devtool`](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/devtool/).
+Using supported `devtool` values enable source map generation.
+
 Use source maps to map error message locations to modules (this slows down the compilation).
 If you use your own `minify` function please read the `minify` section for handling source maps correctly.
