A brief document to
illustrate how to use \LaTeX.

\mainmatter
\chapter{Introduction}
\label{ch:intro}

\section{The First Section}

This is a simple \LaTeX\ document.
Here is the first paragraph.
The next chapter is Chapter~\ref{ch:another}
and is on page~\pageref{ch:another}.
The next section is Section~\ref{sec:next}.

\section{The Next Section}
\label{sec:next}

Here is the second paragraph\footnote{with a footnote}. 
As you can see it's a rather short paragraph, but not 
as short as the previous one. This document was 
created on: \today\ at \currenttime.

\chapter{Another Chapter}
\label{ch:another}

Here's another very interesting chapter.
See Chapter~\ref{ch:intro} for an 
introduction. Our picture has turned
into \figurename~\ref{fig:shapes}.

\begin{figure}[hbtp]
\centering
 \includegraphics{shapes}
\caption{Some shapes}
\label{fig:shapes}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[hbtp]
 \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.5\linewidth}
   \centering
   \includegraphics{rectangle}
   \caption{Rectangle}\label{fig:rectangle}
 \end{subfigure}%
 \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.5\linewidth}
   \centering
   \includegraphics{circle}
   \caption{Circle}\label{fig:circle}
 \end{subfigure}%
\caption{Two Shapes: (\emph{a}) A Rectangle and
(\emph{b}) A Circle}
\label{fig:shapes2}
\end{figure}

\figurename~\ref{fig:shapes2} shows some more shapes.
\figurename~\ref{fig:rectangle} is a rectangle and
\figurename~\ref{fig:circle} shows a circle.
