R help - Oct 2018 - Project in emacs + ess

I have switched from RStudio to emacs.  In emacs, how can I create a project
like in RStudio?


Within the project directory, I would like to create different directories for
code, data, results, figures, documents, etc.  In RStudio project, relative
references work well.  For example, an Sweave document in document directory can
use command source('code/mycode.R').  In emacs, this does not work
"out of the box".  In document folder, the command needs to be
source('../code/mycode.R').  This is minor effort, but a better method
must exist.


Thanks,

Naresh

Wrong list. This list is about R programming. You should address this to an
emacs support list. Better yet, to an ess list . Here's one place you might
start:

https://www.r-bloggers.com/using-r-with-emacs-and-ess/

Other resources can be found by a web search on "R ess"  .

Cheers,
Bert

Indeed, for completeness :

- The ESS website is at https://ess.r-project.org/

- There's an ESS dedicated mailing list "just parallel to" R-help:
  https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/ess-help

- We are currently beta testing a new release of ESS, "18.10",
  which *does* contain some project support.
  Prerelease tar/zip balls available from
  https://stat.ethz.ch/ESS/downloads/ess/Prerelease/
  
- ESS is developed on github now, and issues are tracked here:
  https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS/issues/

Last but not least :
     Welcome to the world of Emacs and ESS !
