hi everyone
i am new in busines and cant get throught the conversion

i ve read the EBook conversion tutorial
i got that the are 4 steps
but i dont get it where do the Structure detection XPath and Regex is applied

i mean i ve got in the debug catalog 4 catalogs
-input
- parsed
- processed
- structure
all of them have index.html with all the text of the ebook
but as i guess only one of them is used
which one ?
and one more question
is the regex replace executed before XPath , or opposite ?

regexes are applied immediately before the first time the html is parsed, typically between the input and parsed stages, though with some input plugins the html parsing happens before the input stage.
