At your suggestion I've been using OO with this plugin. I have a question about some of the choices though. If I choose to output xhtml using "original style" vs something else, like "chocolate", I get a much larger file size. I notice that original style has a style description in front of every line. However, in practice I've found that the larger sized original seems to give a more efficient epub. When I used "chocoate" the epub was slow on my reader.
So, I guess I'm answering my own question but I want to be sure. Another factor that makes me unsure of all this is that the output file size using "original style" is almost the same as MS Word's Filtered Html output. So, am I achieving anything by using OO?
Also, should I be exporting to xhmtl or xhtml + MathML (which comes up by default)?
