Hello!

I am new user and I have a small problem with including images in my document.
I am using LEd as a text editor.

I am using
\begin{figure}[t]
\centering
\includegraphics{}
\caption{}
\label{fig:}
\end{figure}

and the problem is that \includegraphics is in italic (in other words the program does not recognize it as a valid command).

What can I do to fix this?

I don't know about your editor, but if \includegraphics is not recognized, maybe you forgot to load the graphicx package? Add in the preamble of your document (after \documentclass and before \begin{document})

Code: Select all

\usepackage{graphicx}

Addendum: now that I read your post once again, I notice that you are using

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[t]

The more specifiers you use to indicate the placement of a floating object (in this case a figure), the better. Use [htb] instead of just [t]. If you want to "force" LaTeX to place the figure where you want and don't let it float at all, you can use an exclamation point before the position specifiers (i.e. something like [!ht] or [!th]).
