we need extensions for figure filename. It's a difference with the original APT format, but we can't know where images are stored for check the existence of files when we generate the output.

square brackets. The figure name is optionally followed by some text: the
figure caption.
The figure name is the pathname of the file containing the figure but
without an extension. Example: if your figure is contained in
<<</home/joe/docs/mylogo.jpeg>>>, the figure name is
<<</home/joe/docs/mylogo>>>.
The figure name is the pathname of the file containing the figure with an
extension. Example: <<</images/mylogo.jpeg>>>.
If the figure name comes from a relative pathname (recommended practice)
rather than from an absolute pathname, this relative pathname is taken to be
relative to the directory of the current APT document (a la HTML)
rather than relative to the current working directory.
Why not leave the file extension in the figure name? This is better
explained by an example. You need to convert an APT document to PostScript
and your figure name is <<</home/joe/docs/mylogo>>>. A APT processor will
first try to load <<</home/joe/docs/mylogo.eps>>>. When the desired format
is not found, a APT processor tries to convert one of the existing
formats. In our example, the APT processor tries to convert
<<</home/joe/docs/mylogo.jpeg>>> to encapsulated PostScript.
