     Perhaps this extension works best with converting simple documents.
I have found that  Calibre does a decent job of the conversion, but even
that is not close to matching the layout. For that I have used Sigil to
edit the XML that is the basis for ePUB documents.
     I saw a post somewhere that someone has a template that will work
with LO to make the conversion from .odt to .epub. It carries a $67
price tag. I don't know if it works or not.
     My system: Ubuntu 11.10 (32 bit) using Gnome Classic.
