Yes, Writer2xhtml allows output customization on three levels through a config file called writer2latex.xml. You can choose between an installation-wide configuration, user-specific configuration and ad hoc configuration. For more info and specific instructions, see the 4.3 Configuration section of the Writer2LaTeX manual.

  I have had a look at this now, and I see that there is some style-based customization, but I'm still not sure if it will work for the kind of nesting of elements I'm after, see the example in the article of how styles need to map to elements.

  
  Declarative mapping systems like this one tend to work well only up to a point, but I am assuming at this stage XSLT is going to be a better option for my project, although I would be delighted if that's not the case.

  
  I see that there's also a place to plug in a custom stylesheet in writer2xhtml, so maybe this is the answer. What does the stylesheet operate on I wonder, and where in the toolchain does it get used?
