When your write an #rmarkdown document, and you need the same folder for all your code chuncks, add this in your setup chunck: knitr::opts_knit$set(root.dir = 'C:/myfolder') @rstudiotips  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1110810709762420737)

> **Umair Durrani** (@umairdurrani87; 2/2): Dear @xieyihui, what is the best resource to learn knitr? I feel that producing advanced #rmarkdown docs (e.g. customized business reports) requires an in-depth knowledge of knitr. #rstats  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1108838901228027904)

<!-- -->


> **Tom Kelly ケリー・トム** (@tomkXY; 1/0): @jd_wilko @rstudio In my experience, markdown is less complicated than LaTeX. You should be able to get the hang of it by copying a template, trying out a document, and troubleshooting issues online as you go. Combining with knitr is a bit trickier but plenty of good resources for doing this.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1110447563205828608)

> **Ben** (@stanbag1; 1/0): @fplscrapR Your package is excellent. My knowledge of RMD and Vignettes was a bit sketchy, but it was kind of handy to pick them up as I went. For someone less familiar with R I wonder whether some equivalent R scripts, or instructions how to get knitr going might be handy.
