They are not parsed.

You create a new parsed object or element out of thin air, or alter
existing markup under certain conditions, and insert it in the parse
tree before it gets interpreted by an export back-end.

Edebug will help only if you have a good mental representation of the
parse tree (or at least a function to display it when it is short
enough), but it is a valuable tool to understand what happens.
