What format should filepaths be in when working with convertWithOpts?

Hi all,

I’m trying to write a wrapper using convertWithOpts, and I’m running into 
issues regarding options like optFilters, optTemplate, etc that require 
filepaths. 

I *assumed* that when running convertWithOpts, the code uses whatever data 
directory pandoc itself would’ve used, and that paths you specify with 
options like optFilters, optTemplate, etc should be relative to the data 
directory. However, in my testing, I’m not able to make this work on my 
system, as even though I know the paths I’m referring to exist, 
convertWithOpts appears to silently ignore them - the only exception being 
JSONFilters in optFilters, because those are usually binaries along the 
system’s PATH. 

I guess my question here is *what format should the path to data-related 
files be* when working with convertWithOpts?

Paths are interpreted relative to the working directory.

In some cases, the user data directory is also searched
as a fallback.
