Robohelp WebHelp Publish from Command Line - Missing Index/Linking

I am trying to publish my Robohelp project via command line and all of the files appear to be copied to the deployment location correctly. However, when opening the index.htm page, I do not see any of the other pages in the project in the "index" section. It looks like the pages are not linked appropriately via command line. When I publish from within the Adobe Robohelp application, everything shows in the "index" section correctly.

Here are the variations of the cmd statements I have tried running:

rhcl "MyRoboHelpProject.xpl" -p servername

rhcl "MyRoboHelpProject.xpl" -l "WebHelp" -p servername

rhcl "MyRoboHelpProject.xpl" -l "WebHelp" -p servername -o PathOnServer

Hi there

I'm guessing it's maybe just a typo, but shouldn't it read this way?

rhcl "MyRoboHelpProject.xpj" -p servername

rhcl "MyRoboHelpProject.xpj" -l "WebHelp" -p servername

rhcl "MyRoboHelpProject.xpj" -l "WebHelp" -p servername -o PathOnServer

Note that you had xpl before and I replaced the "L" with "J".

Cheers... Rick

Thanks for the response, but that was just a typo on my part in this forum. I used the correct project extension in my publishing efforts.

I should also say I did not get any errors on publishing from command line. It seemingly published fine, but without linking.

Not an area I can help with but maybe this page on my site will be of some use.
