Hello.

I'm doing a project, where I intend to make a whole series look the same because, sadly, the publisher decided it would look good to have different styles in various entries of the series.

But I've hit a snag. In most of the books, the first letter of the chapter is stylized.
Example:

Code:

<p class="flushleft"><span class="gray">T</span>he castle stood on rising ground half a kilometre from the river.</p>

Which is what I want.

But in some books, the publisher decided it would stylize a few words instead.
Example:

Code:

<p class="flushleft"><span class="gray">The castle stood</span> on rising ground half a kilometre from the river.</p>

And the perfectionist in me can't have that.

Is there a way to automate moving </span> in the first p-line in each chapter to after the first letter (and also ignoring symbols like ')?
