It's relatively unclear to me what you want. Do you want to totally remove all markup from that snippet? Or are the results you posted results without the markup, as they would be rendered in the reader?
Also, without knowing what regexes you tried, it's hard to know what to suggest.

hi Manichean,
the results are without processing any regex.
this is the result of the epub book converting.

i want to insert "newlines" on every markup (<i> and </i>).

in original the word "Vorwort" is alone in line, after processing it is member of the next line.

hope i have explained it (sorry about my bad english, too far away from school)

Oh, alright, I understand. However, in your conversion results, the number "4" is missing, which I presume to be a page number removed by a regex, right?
What source format are you converting from and what format are you converting to?

no,
not the number is the prob.

i want to insert a newline after each <i> tag to get the tagged word in a separated line.
remove of the page numbering is not the prob yet.

source: pdf
target: epub

I don't know if that is possible. The problem is, I believe, that the source document, judging from the snippet you posted, doesn't seem to be marked up using paragraph tags, but rather "dumb" linebreaks. You could try enabling the preprocessing facility (found in the structure detection part of the conversion settings) and see if Calibre fixes the markup to include paragraph tags. However, I cannot say if that will necessarily occur for every italics tag.
Another, probably better, solution that comes to mind would be using Sigil. Assuming that the italics tags are preserved, as they should be, you could do a search and replace in sigil on the XHTML and add linebreaks (or paragraph tags) before and/or after the italics as you like.

Wait for the next release. The header and header and footer regexes are replaced with true regex search and replace. You will be able to specify <i> to be replaced with <i>\n.

There is never a firm date for a release. However, they typically happen once a week.

Thanks user_none for the confirmation. I upgraded calibre recently and was looking around for the header/footer removal options :-)

Just one quick question, as I downloaded 0.7.43 but saw no changes regarding header and footers. Just to know what to expect, are you envisioning a couple of specific regex boxes targeting header & footer removal (like previous Xpath options) or just include some regex on the standard "search & replace" tab?
Thanks, Wolf.

Thanks, Wolf.
The header/footer removal was dropped completely. It is now a generic search & replace feature in the conversion options. If I remember correctly, the change happened in 0.7.42, thus no mention in the changelog for 0.7.43

The header and footer boxes were just regexes that when matched would remove the the matched content. The default regex for those options didn't work in 99% of cases.

They have been replaced with the search and replace. Put the regex in the regex filed and leave the replace field blank if you want to have it delete the content.
