Does it matter to Sigil what type of file I start out with?
My process used to be: Word .doc--> html ("web page filtered" done in Word). Then I open the html in Sigil. It's worked great. But now I'm using LibreOffice to compose. But will my .odt (still not sure how I will convert it to .html or perhaps I'll go straight to epub via Writer2Epub--open to suggestions) work as well as my .doc as a starting point? Are there any technical glitches that come along with using .odt as a starting point?

And on a similar vein of thought. I've like editing in Calibre's Edit Epub program. If I edit there, are there any complications (code-wise or otherwise) when I open that epub in Sigil? Thanks.
