Use markdown headers and Quarto configuration so that a table of contents will be created when the document is rendered.
Add correctly formatted inline bibtex references so that a nicely formatted reference list will be present at the end of the document.
Edit the figure formatting so that Quarto:
-automatically numbers them,
-has a label for easy cross referencing, and
-controls the figure sizes so the figures are not too big.
Add a table description argument so that they are automatically numbered by Quarto and use cross referencing to link to the table if/when it is discussed in the text.
Edit the narrative so it uses cross-referencing to refer to the figures and tables instead of having their reference hardcode the figure and table numbers.
Replace any hard-coded values in the Quarto report narrative text with inline Quarto code, so that the text will be automatically updated with the correct value.
Change the code chunk options so that no code is viewable in the rendered report, just the code outputs where needed (e.g., figures and tables).
