Convert epub to kepub - Where are the spans?
I've just been playing with converting epubs to kepubs in the calibre library. Having created a kepub I then opened it in the editor, expecting to see spans in every paragraph, numbered somewhat sequentially. Surprisingly theses were absent, however viewing the kepub on my device, I did see the extended statistics for the book like I am used to.

So where are the missing spans? I thought they were kind of required for kepubs.

When you load the KePub into the editor, the spans are not shown. I loaded a KePub eBook into the editor made a change, saved it, and had a look ubder the hood and all the spans were there along with my change.

Wow. That's a bit unexpected.

Thanks
