Thanks, I looked at it, but I'm afraid I still don't understand it. In the input/parsed/processed folder there's pretty much just an unstyled index.html. A pagebreak or two get added in the parsed and processed steps, but nothing much. I don't see any sources of conflict. But I don't know this stuff well enough, so please just answer me one question.

How come that from the extra CSS file I pasted above, styling for "li > p" makes its way into the output, but "blockquote > p" and "h1 + p" don't?

And by the way (I know I'm coming off as a pain in the ass, but I'm actually interested in this) why does Calibre clutter up every single element with classes (i.e. every <hr> in my document looks like <hr class="calibre4">, every <h1> element is <h1 class="calibre2"> and so on) instead of using element-level selectors in the CSS and only assign classes for the exceptions (which in 80% of the cases don't even exist)?

I mean, if every h1 element is of class "calibre2", and everything that has "calibre2" class is an h1, then what's the point? And this holds for almost all elements in my document.
