When working in an RMarkdown file, formatting can sometimes be tricky. Adding the asis tag within a code chunk ensures that anything in the code chunk will be displayed as text. For example, typing:

x <- 5

as text will be indistinguishable from

cat(htmltools::includeText("asis_example.txt"))

when knitted. Note that the x <- 5 is treated as text, not code. No variable named x will be created.

In short, asis ensures that anything in the chunk will be treated as text.
