I usually work with OpenOffice. I recently tried to convert an ODT file to EPUB thru calibre.

I wonder if it would not be better to import directly a file coming from OpenOffice in Sigil in order to create an EPUB.

But which one?
- If I open the ODT file (renaming with zip), I find some xml files. Can Sigil make something out of them?

- If I save the ODT file as html, I get text (including footnotes) and images but I have no stylesheet.css file.

Any idea on the best way to proceed?

I also tried a nifty extension called writer2html which can export in strict xhtml. It can also divide the document in the ten chapters but with them Sigil produces ten different epub...Is there a way to batch import ten xhtml files, numbered 1 to 10?
