If your goal is to learn how to put together an epub and remove the Calibre part of the process, skip Calibre altogether and go straight to Sigil.

You can start with almost any type of file (html, txt, docx, etc.), import them into Sigil (using import plugins when necessary), then build your epub from there.

Download Sigil User Guide here: https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/sigil...tag/2021.05.27

See Tutorial section in particular to learn how to put together an epub. The chapter "Prepare Your File For Sigil" discusses how to import various file formats into Sigil. There is also a "Manage Plugins" chapter that explains how to use plugins.
