         Image files, such as <filename>.PNG</filename>, are often used in documents.
         While your image files may be placed anywhere you like, we recommend that you store your image files in a <filename>figs/</filename> subdirectory within your document directory.
         In other words, place your image <filename>picture.png</filename> in the <filename>mydoc/figs/picture.png</filename> file.

         In addition, we recommend that you follow our convention on naming the image.
         For example, an image often contains a caption or other text.
         This text should be translated along with the document content, so keeping <filename>words-en.png</filename> separate from <filename>words-ru.png</filename> is a good practice.

         Sometimes, a document may require images that do not follow the naming convention.
