    Use the chapterabstract environment, not the abstract environment, if you want to plant an abstract at the top of the chapter.

\section{Introduction}

\begin{quote}
   Here's a quote environment, if needed.
\end{quote}
Here's a citation so we don't get a "no citation warning" \cite{GolV13}.
Here's a figure. 
\begin{figure}
    \begin{centering}
        \includegraphics[scale=0.8]{chap_1/chap_1_figures/example_1.pdf}
    \par\end{centering}
    \caption{Figure for listoffigures  in the content page.}
    \label{fig:first_fig}
\end{figure}
Here how to reference a figure such as Figure \ref{fig:first_fig}.
\newpage
Here's a table.
\begin{table}
    \centering{}
    \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
        \hline 
            & R: polr & R: lrm & SAS & Stata\tabularnewline

\section{Example Section}

\subsection{Code Example}
Check on conventions on inputting code just to be safe.
This is likely field dependent, so this is worth considering. 
This is the default style, which is aberrant to look at.
In any case, this is how subimport works for nested files to organize your document with each chapter self contained in it's own folder.

\subimport{chap_2_subfiles/}{code}

\subsection{Subfigure Example.}
This is a true subfigure example.
\begin{figure}[h]
    \begin{subfigure}{.55\textwidth}
      \centering
      \includegraphics[width=.8\linewidth]{chap_2_figures/example_1}

%% PACKAGE REQUIREMENTS %%

%% Required to set margins
\RequirePackage{geometry}

%% Use listings package for "code inserts" and "program output" and such.
%% This is strongly preferred to the Verbatim class. And to stop users
%% from running text into margin, we set the default so that long
%% lines are broken. Users can revise inside their documents, of course.
\RequirePackage{listings}
\lstset{
     breaklines=true,  % sets automatic line breaking
     breakindent=2em,
     breakatwhitespace=true,  % sets if automatic breaks should
     breakautoindent=true
}
%% Could get more aggressive on settings, such as:
%%[basicstyle={\ttfamily}]

%% Section font should not be so large, change Large to large
