Chapter 12 Introduction

You can label chapter and section titles using {#label} after them, e.g., we can reference Chapter 12. If you do not manually label them, there will be automatic labels anyway, e.g., Chapter ??.

Figures and tables with captions will be placed in figure and table environments, respectively.

par(mar = c(4, 4, .1, .1))
plot(pressure, type = 'b', pch = 19)
Here is a nice figure!

Figure 12.1: Here is a nice figure!

Reference a figure by its code chunk label with the fig: prefix, e.g., see Figure 12.1. Similarly, you can reference tables generated from knitr::kable(), e.g., see Table 12.1.

knitr::kable(
  head(iris, 20), caption = 'Here is a nice table!',
  booktabs = TRUE
)
Table 12.1: Here is a nice table!

You can write citations, too. For example, we are using the bookdown package [@R-bookdown] in this sample book, which was built on top of R Markdown and knitr [@xie2015].
