TidyX Episode 96: Evaluate Results ‘ASIS’ in RMarkdown

Wrapping up our RMarkdown series, Ellis Hughes and I discuss how to report RMarkdown chunk results asis. What asis does is allows you to type comments directly into the chunk, via the cat() function, and have those comments reported in your RMarkdown report as normal text, meaning it it wont look like a code chuck (with a grey background and border around it). This can be incredibly useful, as you will see with our NBA example, if you are parsing long strings of text that you then want to automatically turn into readable text in your final report.
