\label{sec:history}
Here is some information about the history

17
Do it yourself!
• Make 3 chapters
• Make 2 subchapters
• Make 1 subsubchapter
• Make 1 paragraph

18
Plaatjes
• Package graphicx necessary

\begin{figure}[p]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{image.png}
\caption{Awesome Image}
\label{fig:awesome_image}
\end{figure}

19
Do it yourself!
• Add an image somewhere in your document and add a caption
- Make sure you upload the image to ShareLaTeX first

20
Tables
