 . Parsing: the raw sources content is read and analyzed to generate the internal representation, the AST (_abstract syntax tree_).
 . Processing: the AST is processed. For example to detect possible errors, add automatically generated content (toc), etc.
 . Output generation: once the final AST is set, it's again processed to generate the desired output.
-For example, a sub-section of the AST representing a title with a paragraph will be converted into it's correspondent HTML or PDF output.

 NOTE: Some liberty is taken to make the process easier to understand.
 In reality, Asciidoctor has implementation details that divert from the 3 steps above.
 
-The different extension types are called in different steps of the conversion process in the order shown in the table.
-Within each type:
+The different extension types are called in different steps of the conversion process in the following order:
 
-* Prepocessors is called just before parsing.
-* Treeprocessors is called right before processing.
-* Block macro, inline macro, and block processors are called during processing in the order that they appear in the document.
-* Postprocessors are called before output generation.
-* Include and DocinfoProcessors are called in an arbitrary and changeable order during processing.
-In the case of Include processors, it is called whenever an `include::` is found.
+. Preprocessors are called when the parser requires the AsciiDoc source to parse.
+. IncludeProcessors are called whenever an `include::` directive is found while reading the AsciiDoc source.
+. BlockMacroProcessors and BlockProcessors are called while parsing in the order that they appear in the source document.
+. TreeProcessors are called after the document has been completely parsed into the Document tree right before processing.
+. InlineMacroProcessors are called during output generation in the order that they appear in the document.
+. DocinfoProcessors are called at the beginning of output generation if they add content to the header.
+  And they are called at the end of output generation if they add content to the footer.
+. Postprocessors are called after output generation before the content is written to the destination.
