--- Comment #1 from [email protected] ---
I'm unconvinced this is a bug, so changed the status to NEEDINFO, see below for
the background.

1) After looking at the html in detail, there are various minor problems. In
general the defaults take care of the fact that the html has some errors.
However, the html includes some layout oddities, eg the first character of the
introduction does not seem to be correctly coded. The display of the html
document in Firefox, Internet Explorer and in Libre Office all show the
character 'T' in what is obviously the wrong position, but it is what I would
expect from the html. This is almost certainly caused by a restriction or error
in the Google Docs export, ie nothing to do with Libre Office.

2) This was originally a Word template. I don't understand the reason for
converting it to html, especially not from Google Docs which clearly doesn't
support 'round tripping' for .doc documents, eg the option to 'double click to
edit' is not supported by the export. For papers submitted to a journal you are
better to keep the format as close as possible to the one you need to use for
submission to the journal. Conversions to and from html are very likely to
cause problems, whatever software you use, and unless you have a reason for
displaying the document as a web page, there seems no benefit. 

3) If you still believe that there are Libre Office errors, please can you
create a minimum example of html code that demonstrates the incorrect layout in
Libre Office but not elsewhere so that a developer could focus on the essence
of the problem.

4) If the .doc version does not work properly in Libre Office, please submit a
separate bug report.
