@roger64:
<<I intended to give them a specific span (i'ts for the small text which follows a drop-cap and is usually wirtten in small-caps)>>

Lots of people code the first line like that and I wonder why. It appears to be a lot of bother and the result is clumsy and ugly. Your device is the PW3. All Kindles I have coded for support the CSS pseudo elements.

Why not just give the first paragraph in the chapter a class — and let the device do the hard work seamlessly with ::first-line and ::first-letter pseudo elements based on that class?
