\label{chap:intro}

This is the first paragraph of your first chapter.

This is a paragraph inside of a section.

\subsection{Background}
\label{sec:background}

A paragraph in a subsection.

\section{Citing bibliography entries, figures, tables, and }

As shown in \cite{latexCompanion}, you
can reference bibliography entries using the ``\verb|\cite|'' command.
You can also refer to other parts of the document, such as
Chapter~\ref{chap:intro} or \S\ref{sec:background}, but letting
\LaTeX\ handle the numbering. That way, if you move things around, or
choose a different numbering style, then you won't have to manually keep
track of the changes.



%% The command ``\appendix'' switches into appendix-mode, meaning that
%% subsequent ``\chapter'' commands will instead produce appendices.
\appendix


\chapter{Some appendix}

This is an appendix.


\chapter{Another appendix}

This is another appendix.


\chapter{IRB Approval}

The ``IRB approval form'' must be reproduced here if the nature of this work
requires such an approval. If included, then it should be the second-to-last
appendix.


\chapter{Permissions}

The ``permissions'' area reproduces requests and permissions for previously
published material or material belonging to others. If included, then it
should be the last appendix.


%% After ``\backmatter'', subsequent \chapter commands produce
%% unnumbered headings.
\backmatter
