Hello:

I need to merge a *.hhp project to a main RoboHelp project, So I need to open it with RoboHelp first.

My Question is I need do it from the command line, so I can make the flow automatism.

Any suggestions?

    An HHP file is one of the files in any RH project so what do you mean by an HHP project?

    Yes, I mean a HHP project.

    I want to add it as a sub project of a RoboHelp Project.

    When translate it to a robohelp projet (open it in RoboHelp), I want to do it from command line.

    Is this a HTML Help project that has never been opened in Robohelp before? That is, you previously edited it in HTML Help Workshop or some other help application?

    My understanding is that the command line is only used for generating and publishing. I've never used it myself, but I would expect you have to open the project in Robohelp. After that, the command line is just used to generate the output.

    The Robohelp help file has details of the command line and all seem to point to the .xpj file, rather than the hhp file.

    Peter's site provides lots of information about setting up the merge in Robohelp itself.
