Beter default for `output-dir:` in `_quarto.yml`

[wlangera]

Currently, the default folder to store rendered products is output-dir: ../../output.
This is however not very handy if you have or will create multiple different outputs in your R project since the output of html creates multiple files.

Consider a report project flandersqmd::create_report(".", "my_report"), a better default in _quarto.yml would probably be:

output-dir: ../../output/my_report

Please test #5 to see if it fixed.

This works for a checklist project, but make sure that this still works once the subfolder issue is resolved #2

This does not seem richt for the normal R project however. If you do not have a checklist project, the default is output-dir: output/my_report. So in this case, the output folder is under the my_report folder already so it should not have another my_report folder under output. This is contrary to the checklist case where a general output folder is present for the whole R project, so there it makes sense to have this subfolder.

Checklist:

Folder structure is logical.

├── source
│   └── my_report
├── data
├── output
│   └── my_report
├── media
│
├── checklist.yml
└── test_flandersqmd.Rproj

R project (no checklist):

Folder structure is NOT logical.

├── my_report
│         └── output
│              └── my_report
│
└── test_flandersqmd.Rproj

What about this structure for a non-checklist project. Note that the user can change the output dir.

├── my_report
│         └── output
└── test_flandersqmd.Rproj

Yes, that would be better for a non-checklist project. Let me know if you have a new version to test
