Pandoc can help, too

It might also be helpful for authors in the conversion process to use Pandoc to convert from the many formats Pandoc supports to EPUBs. Of course, automated conversion may not make idiomatically high quality output, but it could be a start. It can even convert LaTeX. The project has a dedicated tutorial page for this use-case at https://pandoc.org/epub.html .

Note that I've not played with Sigil so I can't speak to how well it handles Pandoc-made EPUB conversions.

Pandoc supports EPUB v2 and v3.

Thanks for another cool article on editing and publishing tools! :)

Hmm. I didn't really test Sigil with Pandoc-converted documents, either. I mostly started playing with Sigil for a project in compiling ebooks from other automated HTML -> EPUB documents. Pandoc is, as you point out, a great tool for going from just about any input to any other format. I always tell people "Pandoc is your friend." Thanks for pointing out the tutorial, I'm sure a number of folks will find it useful.
