I am new to Xaringan presentations in R and right now I am trying to create a demo presentation. Currently, I am facing an issue with displaying a picture from a local network drive path (same path for both the .md and .png file).

The image outputs fine in the chunk output but appears as a broken icon after knitting.

How can I fix this?

Code

# Introduce yourself

> Hello, my name is Ed.

---
class: center, middle

# Slide with centered content in the middle

My name is Ed and I like to eat gravy and hangout with Edd and Eddy.

---
class: inverse, center, middle

# Slide with Ed's picture

![img_caption](O:/network_drive_path/ed.png)

Even after copying the `image` file to the `Presentation_files` folder, I am still having the same problem. – Ed_Gravy Apr 28 '22 at 17:24
Never mind, the image opens fine if you open the file in the browser. – Ed_Gravy Apr 28 '22 at 17:28

I strongly recommend that you use relative paths. `O:/network_drive_path/ed.png` is an absolute path. – Yihui Xie Apr 28 '22 at 19:32
