Description

In the file run.rkt (in scribble-lib/scribble), there is a parameter for the current output directory that scribble is rendering too. (Called current-dest-directory). This parameter seems like it should be possible for the user to get a hold of (at least to read anyway), so that they can dynamically put files in that directory. (At least that is what @wilbowma seems interested in doing.)

Research direction

Start by reading run.rkt in scribble-lib/scribble and trace how the current-dest-directory parameter is scoped during rendering. Check how user-facing parameters are exposed in that area. Done means users can read the current output directory while rendering; the issue names no test entry point.
