Does it mean to extend Include Element of RD such like?

  <<< foo.jpeg
  
   and this means (in HTML)
   
   <DIV class="figure"><IMG src="foo.jpeg"></DIV>

You can do it for the present like:
   
   (in RD file)
   <<< foo

   (in foo.html)
   <DIV class="figure"><IMG src="foo.jpeg" alt="Fig: foo"></DIV>

   (and prepare foo.jpeg file.)

And the reason why RD doesn't allow "<<< foo.jpeg" is
  
  * HTML's "IMG" requires "alt" attribute.
  * all kind of output format doesn't support JPEG file importing. so
    you should also prepare "foo.ps" or other format image when you
    want to output LaTeX file (or other document format) also.
