Comment out the text in R Markdown (Rmd file)

Question

How do you comment on unused text in the R Markdown ( .Rmd ) file? I do not mean the text in the R code block , but the general texts, for example, % in LaTex .

Answer 1

I think you can use regular html comments:

 <!-- regular html comment --> 

Does this work for you?

Answer 2

Blocks with an extra hole can be used anywhere inside the document and commented out with #

 --- title: "Untitled" output: html_document --- No comment. --- # here a comment # ```{r} # x = pi # ``` --- 

Note that this does not prevent knitr from evaluating the embedded code r.

Answer 3

After dragging the lines you want to comment, press SHIFT + CMD / WIN + C. This is the shortcut of the R Markdown editor (R Studio) for commenting.
