My Rmd files and bib files in different path. Their parent directory are the folders a and b. And the two folders are in the folder c.

When I want add bibliopraphy in the Rmd files, my yaml option block looks like,

---
title: "R Notebook"
output: html_notebook
bibliography: ../b/add.bib
---

But the error message shows my path is wrong. Anyone know the right way to wirte the path?

Here is my session info.

Can you post the exact error message so that we know what it is really about ?

I suspect it come from here because you use relative path to a parent folder and I am not sure it is possible. It a guess based on past issue that seems related to me, but I can't find in the doc where it is written that parent directory are not possible.

I know that rmarkdown::find_external_ressources do not work with parent directory.

In all cases, only resources that exist on disk and are contained in the document's directory (or a child thereof) are returned.

Is it working if you put the .bib in the same folder as the document ?
