Now you mentioned it...

I do encounter this problem, practically all of my vertical layout books, since some of texts need to be "tate-chu-yoko":

html { -epub-writing-mode: vertical-rl; }
.tcy { -epub-text-combine: horizontal; }

<p>今天是<span class="tcy">9</span>月<span class="tcy">24</span>日</p>

With the current version Kobo Touch Extended Driver, my books are converted to:

<p>
  <span class="koboSpan" id="x">今天是</span>
  <span class="tcy">
    <span class="koboSpan" id="x">9</span>
  </span>
  <span class="koboSpan" id="x">月</span>
  <span class="tcy">
    <span class="koboSpan" id="x">24</span>
  </span>
  <span class="koboSpan" id="x">日</span>
</p>

and the "tcy" styles are all gone on my Kobo Glo.

Currently I just hack the container.py to make it skipping all <span> and <a>:

    def __append_kobo_spans_from_text(self, node, text):
        if node.tag.endswith('span') or node.tag.endswith('a'):
            return False
    ...

I don't think it solves the problem though -- for example, I've seen *some particular publisher* (cough * MediaFactory * cough) made books like this:

.c1 { ... }
.c2 { ... }
.c3 { ... }
.c4 { ... }
...

<p class="c1"><span class="c2">...</span></p>
<p class="c3"><span class="c4">...</span></p>
...

And my hacked container.py wouldn't add any koboSpan on it. (fortunately the book was already a kepub, so I don't get too many problems for now.)

Any suggestions?
