r - preventing a chunk run in rmarkdown

Question

I am using Rmarkdown and Knitr using Rstudio.

The following both print script and output to html.

```{r}
summary(cars)
```

However the following will only print the output, that is embedded plot.

```{r, echo=FALSE}
plot(cars)
```

I have situation different than above, I want to present the script but should not run in html as this will take very long time (hours if not days) to run. So I just did was put comment sign.

```{r}
#summary(cars)
```

But I need a better way to do this - Is there any better way presenting script without running it.
