Yes, it's quite self-explanatory.

After removing all text content, you'll stay with the bare XHTML and
everything should be obvious.

This is the skeleton of a basic file without the information not needed
like styles, JavaScript. I indented the text for readability. But note,
that the contents of such a file vary a lot, depending on the export
options and the files contents:

What is `stable' between several exports, is the nesting and the names
of the main containers (replace X with depth of the nesting and ID with
the section number):

  * body
  * content
  * title
  * div id="outline-container-ID" class="outline-X"
  * h1, h2 ...
  * div class="outline-text-ID" id="text-X"

Some containers might or might not exist. E.g. the

  * div id="postamble"
  * div id="table-of-contents" (could be placed virtually anywhere)
  * etc.
