+The @command{haunt publish} command deploys the site to a remote
+location.  The site must have already been built via @command{haunt
+build} before running @command{haunt publish}.
+
+Usage:
+
+@example
+haunt publish
+@end example
+
+By default, Haunt uses the publisher named @code{production} defined
+for the current site.  However, Haunt supports multiple publishers.
+Consider the use case where an author wants to publish to a staging
+environment to confirm that everything looks good on a real web server
+before publishing to production.  To use a non-production publisher,
+simply say so at the command line:
+
+@example
+haunt publish staging
+@end example
+
+For details on how to configure publishers, @pxref{Publishers}.
