I also found that with a Calibre EPUB -> RTF conversion, blockquotes, and Heading information is lost as well.

Wow, this is fantastic, where were you a few months back? I was looking for better import into LibreOffice (a client wanted DOCs for copyediting), and this method looks like it works fantastically.

Before, I was Copying/Pasting from Sigil Book View -> LibreOffice (which surprisingly worked WAY better than Copying/Pasting into Microsoft Word). The ODT/DOCX turned out "ok", but nothing that spectacular, and had its own set of bugs (especially with spacing around italic words). But it was "ok" enough to copyedit. I would be stripping out all the trash anyway and only working on the raw text changes once I got the DOC(X) back.

Indeed, I didn't have much time to test the new EPUB Import looked quite solid from a quick conversion, I will have more in-depth testing later this month. Also, that new bracket/parenthesis mismatch checking, AMAZING (just as I imagined it when I recommended it as an addition).
