How would you know if you are just missing the end quote or if the conversation is continued?
By reading the text - should be obvious that its continued speech.

All ePUB creators I know use a class to specify either pseudo smallcaps and/or text-transform. That part works. Actually, I made a change today that as of the next release it is not possible to retain smallcaps without specifying a style for it. If that is not what you mean, please contact me with a PB.
I am attaching a new Small Caps Test.zip - the two lines are Styled with Title 1 (the Times Roman) and Title 2 (the Verdana) - I seem to have a worse result now - there are 2 of the   strings and a 'strange' extra line. The zip also includes the results of a conversion of the same DOCX by calibre.

I do much of my reading on Windows because I also do number crunching Excel, modelling etc, the rest I do on Android - hence the font limitations of e-readers don't bother me so much.

Small caps is not a big issue, I'm happy with the calibre DOCX conversion and I want the DOCX and the EPUB to be stored in the calibre library. So don't spend any undue time on it.

See attached image for some suggestions on EPUB Settings.
