I can't figure put how to make a book with Rmd files in a subdirectory. Here's my current directory structure: myProject.Rproj index.RMD _bookdown.yml chapters/ chapt1.RMD chapt2.RMD extraThatShouldNotBeIncluded.RMD What should go in _bookdown.yml and in index.RMD to make this work?

It turns out that you just have to specify the directory of each RMD in _bookdown.yml:

rmd_files: ["index.Rmd", "chapters/chapt1.RMD", "chapters/chapt2.RMD"]
