Text before is referenced as `\ref{sec:before}'.

\label{sec:after} % bad, unless you want the page reference

The labels are: `before' (\ref{sec:before}),
`fig:in1' (\ref{fig:in1}) -- bad, `fig:in2' (\ref{fig:in2}),
`fig:in3' (\ref{fig:in3}), `fig:in4' (\ref{fig:in4}) -- bad
and `after' (\ref{sec:after}) -- probably bad!
