most of the the authoring/word processing in Lyx, which also solves most of

Ok. Thanks for the extensive information on the three ways of exporting, Marc.
Guess it kind of solve the question started by Tom. I could try to export some

using elaix
you can do a global search and replace (easier I think with the alt
replace ext.) of the headings used in a doc with the headings elaix
employs. Took just a few minutes once you understand how to do that.
HOWEVER you can always select to include the existing headings without
the search
save the original as docbook and use pandoc to convert to epub or epub3
and compare ;-)

No idea. It's true that epub is quite limited when it comes to style, but it is
mostly used for electronic ink readers, which, by now, are black and white

That so-called standard is too expensive for independent implementation and
