I don't think that I'm re-inventing the wheel really. And even though my plugin converter will give a full conversion(upload ready) I do not regard that as its main purpose. It's just a plugin that will save you alot of time in your conversion workflow by automatically doing all the drudge jobs like re-styling your new epub from scratch, adding metadata, adding images, creating a stylesheet etc. The plugin's main purpose is to quickly bring the plugin user to a point where he or she can just concentrate on finishing-off tasks in Sigil like final epub re-styling, embedding fonts, adding extra images, fixed layout tasks etc.

I'm also guessing that people will probably criticize the plugin and perhaps say, "Why bother when their are already good converters like Calibre, Scrivener, Jutoh etc ?" The main difference between those converters and my plugin converter is that those converters have editors, toc editors, complex settings, stylers, menus, sub-menus and pre-compiler options etc. They are complex apps that take some time to learn. The only editor my plugin app uses to style epubs is LibreOffice or OpenOffice because the plugin ports all styles -- default styles, heading styles, font styles and named styles to the epub stylesheet. It can do this because it also ports all in-tag styling to the CSS as well. So with my plugin all you have to do is style your ebook in LO or OO as you like and then, after filling in the metadata in the dialog window, just push the OK button and your html doc will convert to epub -- whose layout and styling should exactly mimic the layout and styling of the ODT version. The plugin also has a very simple interface which anyone can learn to use quickly.
