\section{Introduction}\label{sec-intro}
Below is a scheme of citation commands and corresponding outputs. You can also cite multiple references with a single \lstinline[language=TeX]/\cite/ command; for instance, \lstinline[language=TeX]/\cite{markowitz52,rockafellar02,rockafellar06}/ produces \cite{markowitz52,rockafellar02,rockafellar06} as output.
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{L{6cm}r}
\lstinline[language=TeX]/\citeasnoun{markowitz52}/ & \citeasnoun{markowitz52}\tabularnewline
\lstinline[language=TeX]/\cite[p.9]{markowitz52}/ & \cite[p.9]{markowitz52}\tabularnewline
\lstinline[language=TeX]/\citename{markowitz52}/ & \citename{markowitz52}\tabularnewline
\lstinline[language=TeX]/\citeyear*{markowitz52}/ & \citeyear*{markowitz52}\tabularnewline
\lstinline[language=TeX]/\citeyear{markowitz52}/ & \citeyear{markowitz52}
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
In the \hyperref[refs]{References} section, you can make a the title of a reference \emph{clickable} by using the following syntax in the \lstinline/.bib/ file:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=TeX]
title = {
\href{https://reference-link}{Reference title}
},
\end{lstlisting}

\subsection{Useful tools for reference managing}
There are several useful tools to help organize your references. Here are some of them:
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*), noitemsep]
\item \url{https://www.mendeley.com}
\item \url{https://www.jabref.org}
\item \url{https://text2bib.economics.utoronto.ca}
\item \url{https://truben.no/latex/bibtex/}
\end{enumerate}
\lipsum[1-1]
\section{Methodology}
In this section you should discuss the methodology.\footnote{Footnote links should come after punctuation.}
\subsection{Figures}
Figure~\ref{fig1} was generated in \lstinline/R/ through the following code:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=R]
x = seq(from=0, to=2*pi, length=100)
cm = 1/2.54 # this is just for defining units of measurement
pdf(file='plot.pdf', width=9*cm, height=7*cm, bg=rgb(0,0,0,.1))
par(mai = c(2*cm,1*cm,.5*cm,1*cm))
plot(x, sin(x), type ='l')
dev.off()
\end{lstlisting}
\begin{figure}[ht]
\begin{center}
\caption{A figure}\label{fig1}
\includegraphics{media/plot.pdf}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
Ideally, figure dimensions should be controlled \emph{outside} of \LaTeX, as the preceding \lstinline/R/ code illustrates. If you cannot generate or obtain the figure with appropriate sizing, then adding the optional argument \lstinline/[width=9cm]/ to the \lstinline/\includegraphics/ command will do the job. Below we illustrate usage of the \lstinline!\includegraphics[width=2cm]{media/plot.pdf}! command.
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=2cm]{media/plot.pdf}
\end{center}
\subsection{The model}
We write inline equations as \(x=x\) or displayed equations as
\begin{equation}\label{eq1}
\mathrm dX_t = \mu\mathrm dt + \sigma\mathrm dB_t
\end{equation}
and reference equations using \lstinline[language=TeX]/\eqref{eq1}/ to display as equation \eqref{eq1}. Maybe we should have added this in \autoref{sec-intro}. You can also reference theorems, for example \lstinline/\autoref{thm:1}/ will produce \autoref{thm:1}.
\begin{definition}
We say that \textbf{$x$ is equal to $x$} whenever $x=x$.
\end{definition}
\begin{lemma}
$x\geq y$ if and only if $y\leq x$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
This is left as an exercise.
\end{proof}
\begin{proposition}
$x = x$ if and only if $x = x$.
\end{proposition}
\begin{theorem}\label{thm:1}
If $x=x$ and $y=y$, then $x>y$ implies $x>y$.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
A proof with default title.
\end{proof}
\begin{proof}[A proof with custom title]
This is trivial.
\end{proof}
\begin{corollary}
$x>y$ of and only if $y<x$.
\end{corollary}
\begin{remark}
This is a remark.
\end{remark}

\section{Results}
You can add tables easily: see \autoref{tab1}. There are three custom column types that accept width specification: \lstinline[]/L/, \lstinline[]/C/ and \lstinline[]/R/, which work similarly to the standard \lstinline[]/p/ column type; for instance, use \lstinline[]/C{4cm}/ for a (horizontally) centered column 4cm wide. Notice, however, that \LaTeX\ has some inconsistencies regarding lengths, as Example \ref{example:lengths} illustrates. Thus, some manual fine-tuning may be necessary to obtain tables with the desired width.
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\scalefont{0.9}
\caption{A simple table}\label{tab1}
\begin{tabular}{L{10em}C{5em}c}
\toprule
variable & value & $p$-value\tabularnewline
\midrule
$X$ & 1 & 0.0 \tabularnewline\addlinespace[5pt]
$Y$ & $-1$ & 0.8\tabularnewline
\midrule
{You can write long texts inside\newline table cells, with custom linebreaks} & A & B\tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\captionsetup[sub]{width=20em}
\subcaption*{Table descriptions go here. \lipsum[1-1]}
\end{center}
\end{table}
\newpage
\begin{example}\label{example:lengths}
This example illustrates length inconsistencies in \LaTeX.
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\rule{.6\textwidth}{1cm}
\begin{tabular}{L{.2\textwidth}C{.2\textwidth}R{.2\textwidth}}
\toprule
a & b & c\tabularnewline\midrule
x & y & z\tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
The source code yielding the rule and table above is as follows:
\begin{lstlisting}[language = TeX]
\noindent\rule{.6\textwidth}{1cm}
\noindent\begin{tabular}{L{.2\textwidth}C{.2\textwidth}R{.2\textwidth}}
\toprule
x & y & z\tabularnewline\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}
\subsection{Some additional features}
Table~\ref{tab2} illustrates how to align numbers by the decimal place marker. It also shows how to implement the \lstinline[]/\multirow/ command.
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\scalefont{0.9}
\caption{Another simple table}\label{tab2}
\begin{tabular}{L{4em}L{4em}r@{.}lc}
\toprule
variable & & \multicolumn{2}{c}{value} & $p$-value\tabularnewline
\midrule
$X$ & & 1&001 & 0.0 \tabularnewline\addlinespace[5pt]
$Y$ & & $-10$&00 & 0.8\tabularnewline\midrule
\multirow{2}{*}{$Z$} & $Z_1$ & 1&1 & 0\tabularnewline
& $Z_2$ & 2&2 & 0\tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
Here are two useful tools to help formatting \LaTeX\ tables:

\item \url{https://truben.no/table/}

\section{Additional tables and figures}
This appendix has some additional tables and figures, for example Table~\ref{tabA1} illustrates how to generate a sideways table, and also shows how to implement the \lstinline/\multicolumn/ command. Figure~\ref{subfigures} illustrates usage of subfigures. Panels \ref{a} and \ref{b} were generated in \lstinline/R/ through the following code:
\begin{lstlisting}
set.seed(123)
cm = 1/2.54
x = rnorm(50)
pdf(file='plot2a.pdf', width=4*cm, height=4*cm, bg=rgb(0,0,0,.1))
par(mai = c(.5*cm,.5*cm,.5*cm,.5*cm))
plot(x, x+rnorm(50,sd=.4), pch=16, col=rgb(0,0,0,.7), bty='n', axes=FALSE, ann=FALSE)
dev.off()
pdf(file='plot2b.pdf', width=4*cm, height=4*cm, bg=rgb(0,0,0,.1))
par(mai = c(.5*cm,.5*cm,.5*cm,.5*cm))
plot(x, rnorm(50,sd=1), pch=16, col=rgb(0,0,0,.7), bty='n', axes=FALSE, ann=FALSE)
dev.off()
\end{lstlisting}
