Locate a manual's directories

Resolves the paths a manual's build script works in, so each one does not repeat the same root-finding and _bookdown.yml parsing.

Usage

manualPaths(prjDir = NULL, bookdownYML = "_bookdown.yml", create = TRUE)

Arguments

prjDir

the manual's root. Defaults to the enclosing RStudio project or git repository, found from getwd().

bookdownYML

the book's _bookdown.yml, relative to prjDir. Its output_dir gives the rendered book directory.

create

whether to create the citations and figures directories. The rendered book directory is left to bookdown.

Value

a named list of absolute paths: prj, docs, citations and figures.
