\section{Introduction}
\subsection{Section name}
\subsubsection{Subsection name}
The following is the example to illustrate a figure.
\subsection{Example: how to create figures?}
\textcolor{blue}{Example: Figure \ref{example_figure_1} shows the example image.}
When you put figures, you use the following "figure" tool. "centerling" sets the position of figure to centre. "includegraphics" calls the figure that you want to put (i.e. \verb|Figure_1-age_map.png| in this case). You can change the size of figure by adjusting the value of "width". "caption" is to explain what the figure shows. You can put any names to "label", which you call in the sentences.
Please refer to the following page for more tutorials: \url{https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Inserting_Images}.
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
\includegraphics[clip, width=1.0\textwidth]{Figure_1.jpg}
\caption{Example image (\textit{Example})}
\label{example_figure_1}
\end{figure}
\subsection{Example: how to cite literature?}
\textcolor{blue}{Example: It was estimated that the number of people living with dementia worldwide will increase from 35.6 million in 2010 to 65.7 million in 2030 and to 115.4 million in 2050, with almost double every 20 years \cite{RN293, RN189, RN181}.}
Literature data can be exported using, for example, EndNote BibTex format. All the literature data are just copied and pasted to "bibliography.bib". Then, you just need to call the reference numbers that are automatically allocated on EndNote, by using "citep" or "cite".
Please refer to the following page for more tutorials: \url{https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Bibliography_management_in_LaTeX}.
\subsection{Example: how to create a table?}
\textcolor{blue}{Example: Table \ref{demographic} shows the demographic information on participants.}
When you create tables, you use the following "table" tool. Please refer to the page below for more tutorials:
\url{https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/tables}.
\begin{table}[htbp]
\setlength\arrayrulewidth{1pt}
\centering
\small
\caption{Demographic profile of participants}
% Set the number of columns
\begin{tabular}{lrl}
% Put a horizontal line.
\hline
\textbf{Variable} & \textbf{Values} & \textbf{P value} \\
\hline
\hline
Gender & Men: 6, Women: & \\
Age (years) & $73.14\pm4.26$ & $P<0.001$ \\
Weight (kg) & $77.26\pm19.39$ & $P=0.201$ \\
Height (cm) & $168.43\pm7.91$ & $P=0.444$ \\
BMI & $27.00\pm5.21$ & $P=0.012*$ \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\label{demographic}
\end{table}
\subsection{Ignore specific parts from counting the number of words.}
You can eliminate some parts from counting the total number of words, by using TC: ignore.
Please refer to the following page for more tutorials: \url{https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/Is_there_a_way_to_run_a_word_count_that_doesn%27t_include_LaTeX_commands%3F}.
%%TC:ignore
This part is not counted for the total number of words.
