Even so the same rules of no extra white space by tabs, empty lines or extra spaces apply. The styles work perfectly 1:1 to CSS and create perfect PDF if done correctly. At least Word since 2007 and version 3.x of Libre Office. That's a long time ago.

The contents of the PDF is different from the contents of ePUB, so that wouldn't work. PDF also comes in a bilingual version as well as in single language versions. It has different illustrations which are larger, taking advantage of a larger page size. These versions of the book are produced from the same ODT sources with LibreOffice using master documents built up of different parts. The ePUB version is just one version, so I wish to avoid editing ePUB. I managed to make all styles with LibreOffice and apply a few rules through Calibre for the ePUB. And yes, there are a few work-arounds, although I do keep them to a minimum.
