I have been successful using sigil as an editor. It helps me fix minor problems with my original ODT (openoffice) file after I have converted it to an ePub.

I create my TOC in Sigil. I do my page breaks in Sigil. I also fix the date in Sigil.

I find that after I do my page breaks, the first heading says heading_id_2. I have to fix it so my page breaks are in order and beginning with heading_id_1. Also the dc-date has to be corrected to the right format just as it did when I used InDesign.

Once I've finished my editing in Sigil, I clean it up once more in Calibre. I run a final ePub to ePub conversion. Once done, it passes ePubChecker.

So far, so good.
