System: Calibre 5.10.1, Ubuntu 20.04, LibreOffice 7.0.4.2

I've seen many suggestions to the effect that, if using Writer, a save as docx instead of odt before conversion to epub will give better results, so I have begun trying it. Yes, in general, there are no weird <span>s and so on.

But I find chapter titles, which were all plain "Heading 1" in Writer, come through as list styles. Example:

Code:

<ol class="list_">
    <li value="3" class="block_4" id="toc_id_3"><b class="calibre1">Chapter 3</b></li>
  </ol>

Is this normal? It seems a strange way to code chapter titles. And it makes it slightly more difficult to edit into the <h1 class="chapter"> sort of style I normally use. (Doesn't happen with odt conversion.)

Is there some way to avoid this behaviour?

Thanks...
