Here’s some prose in a very special comment. Let’s summarize the
built-in dataset VADeaths.
# here is a regular code comment, that will remain as such

Here’s some more prose. I can use usual markdown syntax to make things
bold or italics. Let’s use an example from the dotchart() help
to make a Cleveland dot plot from the VADeaths data. I even bother to
name this chunk, so the resulting PNG has a decent name.
dotchart(VADeaths, main = "Death Rates in Virginia - 1940")
