How to skip a code block?

Description

May I ask how to show a code block without execuiting it, i.e. skip the code block?

Thanks.

What does "skip" means exactly?

Use code cell option eval: false or don't use brackets in the code definition as documented in Quarto website.

Thanks, @mcanouil

The eval: false option of a code block is what I'm looking for.

For example, I'd like to show the content of a python NamedTuple named aux without triggering quarto to evaluate it as a python code block:

Source code in the qmd file:
'

Not using the brackets is way simpler and less typing if you never intend to evaluate the code.

```python
```

Here you are saying "I want the code block to be a computation code cell but I don't want it to compute anything".
While you could just "it's code".
