Notes on this conversion
ODT is read through a .docx conversion rather than directly. That hop is unusually faithful here, because ODT is LibreOffice’s native format and the two formats describe documents in much the same terms — named paragraph styles, lists, tables. Documents written with proper heading styles keep their exact levels. What is lost is what Markdown cannot express in any case: fonts, colours, page geometry, and the frames and text boxes that ODT allows to float outside the main flow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are heading levels preserved?
Yes, where the document uses named heading styles. ODT records those the same way .docx does, so they survive the conversion step.
What happens to text inside a frame or text box?
It may not appear in document order, because a floating frame has no fixed place in the flow. Check the result if the document relies on them.
Do tables come through?
Yes, cell for cell, as Markdown tables. Merged cells are flattened, since Markdown tables have no way to span.
