> **Martin John Hadley** (@martinjhnhadley; 7/1): I feel this is one of @xieyihui's #rstats knitr secrets (just like &lt;!--html_preserve--&gt;)... did I miss the documentation for latex, markdown and html rendering for code chunks? https://t.co/KOvuf0NKEQ  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1083409601146568704)

> **Yihui Xie** (@xieyihui; 6/1): @martinjhnhadley That worked just by accident. These "engines" don't exist in knitr, and the default behavior is just to echo the code: https://t.co/XFkCbFCiXz So \`\`\`{latex} is the same as \`\`\`latex. The latter is valid Pandoc Markdown syntax and triggers syntax highlighting.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1083575819795087360)
