Do that fit together!?

Makes perfect sense - on realising I didn't know it existed I went and had a look, and on looking I recollected I'd seen it in the manual, so I went and had a look there.

Then I engaged in some inductive reasoning - Xpath is a feature of Structure Detection in calibre's conversion pipeline- ergo Kovid must have reused it in the editor. I suspect it's also in the separate calibre TOC tool, but I've not looked there - maybe he lifted the whole TOC Tool enchilada into the editor.

Then I posted here - I try to check my facts before I post, habit I picked up as a junior on local paper 50+ years ago, when editors were the gatekeepers over quality, today their role is to push a particular ideology on behalf of their backhander paymasters.

BTW there's a Tutorial on XPath in the calibre manual if your interested.
