I am writing a text (following MHRA style if that makes a difference) that refers to several images throughout, but I am unsure how to include them in my body text in terms of writing style.
Does it have to be written as 'In figure 3 we can see that ...' or does it just sit in brackets (see figure 3) while the sentence reads more normal? Or can it be both, depending on sentence flow?
I have styles for the actual referencing and inclusion of the visuals, but couldn't find any guidance on how to put them in the actual sentences.
