\section{Example}
\subsection{Image}
An example of single figure display is in figure \ref{single_figure}, and an example of multiple figure is displayed in figure \ref{multifig_example}, which you can also refer them individually as \ref{multifig_sub1}, \ref{multifig_sub2}, and \ref{multifig_sub3}.
\begin{figure}[htbp]

\includegraphics[scale=0.35]{images/example_image_1.png}
\caption{This is an example of a single image, and an example of citation\cite{rapisarda_2020_the}}
\label{single_figure}

\subsection{Math}
In latex, equation, align, and gather are the three most commonly used environments of math equations.
The \texttt{equation} environment is often used for single equations:
\begin{equation}
E = mc^2
\label{eq_einstein}
\end{equation}
The \texttt{align} environment is used for multiple equations with alignment:
\begin{align}
f(x) & =x^{T}x - x^{T}z_{2} - z_{2}^{T}x + z_{2}^{T}z_{2} - x^{T}x + x^{T}z_{1} + z_{1}^{T}x - z_{1}^{T}z_{1} \notag \\
& =2z_{1}^{T}x - 2z_{2}^{T}x + \lVert z_{2} \rVert^{2} - \lVert z_{1} \rVert^{2}
\label{eq_align}
\end{align}
Equations \eqref{eq_align} demonstrate the alignment of multiple equations, and you may also notice that "notag" can silence the automatically produced tag.
The \texttt{gather} environment is used for multiple equations without alignment:
\begin{gather}
p = q + r \\
s = t + u + v \\
w = x + y + z
\label{eq_gather}
\end{gather}
Equations \eqref{eq_gather} show multiple equations without alignment.
\subsection{Table}
An example of basic table is as follows:
\begin{table}[h]
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|}
\hline
\diagbox{Obs}{Var} & Var A & Var B & Var C \\
\hline
Obs A & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
\hline
Obs B & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
\hline
Obs C & 1 & 2 & 3 \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
If you prefer three line table, you can use the package "booktabs" to do the job. An example is as follows:
\begin{table}[h]
\begin{tabular}{lccc}
\toprule
Obs & Var A & Var B & Var C \\
\midrule
Obs A & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
Obs B & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
Obs C & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\subsection{External PDF}
You can display external PDF in the report.
\includepdf[pages={1}, scale=0.7, frame=true, pagecommand={\thispagestyle{fancy}}]{external_pdf/Lorem Ipsum.pdf} %If we don't set pagestyle to fancy, footer and header will not be displayed.
