This would be the right place. I just don't have any great answers. The plugin should come with a 'samples' directory that has a docx, a custom style map file for it, and a css file that will give you an idea of how it all works together.

The plugin was created with the expectation that a user would develop a consistent docx style habit and then create a custom style map, and a css file that could be used with those docx styles (for many different documents).

It's definitely not a turn-key solution for the conversion of any docx to epub, but if you're a writer who makes consistent use of docx styles, then a workflow can usually be developed.

Not sure what you mean about picking up the book title/subtitle. Unless you're talking about a styled title page in the ebook itself, epub titles are metadata. This plugin doesn't create any epub metadata from the docx. I should probably look into adding that ability though!

And yes, if you create your block text with a particular style in Word (or LibreOffice) you can map that style to a blockquote element in your custom mapping. Examples of mapping Word styles to html elements/classes are in the included samples.

The easiest way to get at the samples is probably to extract the contents of the plugin zip file after you've successfully installed the plugin in Sigil.
