hi

Thanks for your reply and your interest.

I am afraid you'll get no reply from Henrik Just. He just disappeared from the radar screen. I did try to contact him several times to no avail, including through OpenOffice where he had taken work about 30 months ago or even with the help of a Danish friend, by looking for him on the Danish phone directory.

If you think it could be useful, I will provide you with a link to my source odt file, your converted output.html file, and to the final "hybrid" EPUB. I was just curious to see how a "real life" odt file of book size could be transcribed and, of course, I did not follow for this your recommended workflow.

writer2xhtml provides a very useful "style mapping" for some formatting attributes like superscript, bold, italic. The most frequently used for me are: i, em, b, sup. There are also 14 others. Ignoring them would be quite inconvenient because I would have to invoke endless character style occurrences with OpenOffice to qualify them. That would be a real hassle and a disincentive.
