Should file paths start at `./`?

File paths starting at ../ don't work for me. I think ./ points to the project root regardless of the RStudio settings. If this really is a difference between our setups, then maybe here() is worth using.

So, this is one of the undocumented facets of Rmds. To knit, I manually set the working directory to the Rmd's file folder. Perhaps a good topic of discussion next week - I've been asking how to change this setting for Rmds, but perhaps here() would solve this problem more reproducibly?

I think it's safer to assume that the working directory is the project, although .Rproj is .gitignored so maybe it's not safe to assume that this will be run as an R Project? Happy to chat about it more.
