     Writer2ePUB may work for text documents with fairly simple 
layouts. However, for something as complex as a user guide for 
LibreOffice, it leaves much to be desired. As I have mentioned in an 
earlier part of this thread (or an earlier thread with the same theme), 
using Calibre to convert a complex document from ODT to ePUB and the 
Sigil to clean up the styles does a much better job. There are still too 
many extra styles in the internal xhtml files that make up the zipped 
ePUB file, the latest Sigil version that contains Tidy does reduce the 
amount of editing required.
     The latest suggestion of using LibreOffice to convert an ODT 
document to HTML format and then using Sigil to convert that to ePUB. 
This preserves the lay out very well. However, the ODT graphics are 
converted to poor quality GIF files if the graphics are kept in frames. 
Actually, each entire frame (graphic and caption) is converted into a 
single GIF file.
