My scenario:\r\n\r\nCode lives in a 'source' folder that is a sibling of the 'typings' folder (from `tsd`). So all of the reference tags use relative paths to step out of 'source' and into 'typings'. This code is then being deployed via bower, which, by default, dumps the files into a 'bower_components' folder. So now the  type files (*.d.ts) are within 'bower_components\\source' and need one more relative step up to get to the 'typings' folder at the root level.\r\n\r\nI'll take a look at the suggested transform suggestions above."}}
