Removing header and footer

I've noticed a problem while converting a pdf file with Calibre: the removing of header and footer which test ok in the structure detection wizards do not appear removed in the final mobi output.

Here are the job details after the conversion, and I've noticed there's an issue in the parsing section which I assume is related. Could anyone provide some help on what I need to do to solve this?

The solution for this is to run the conversion in debug mode and look at the actual HTML in the input subdirectory (for some files, it can differ slightly from the html in the wizard).

kovid, indeed that was the problem. Took me enough time, but further analysis of the HTML code and further regex education for me solved the issue, by using a less specific regex. thanks for your help!
