Re: [O] How to keep correct filepaths when using the #+INCLUDE derivative?

[Daniel P Gomez]

Sorry for the ignorance, but where could I look up how to use a parse
tree filter? And where would these modifications make sense?
Any pointers towards documentation, functions, or any help of any kind
would be appreciated. I must say I am a bit lost.

Thank you in advance,

Daniel
