Answer
View engines search for views, parse templates, generate executable output, and render HTML. Multiple engines coexist by being queried in order; the first match handles rendering.
Quick Answer
The view engine pipeline calls IViewEngine.FindView() on registered engines in order. RazorViewEngine searches by convention (/Views/{Controller}/{Action}.cshtml). You can register custom engines (Markdown, Handlebars) before or after Razor in MvcOptions.ViewEngines. The first engine that finds the view wins.
