How to avoid all of the jargon/gibberish when reading aloud chapter titles in epubs?

I know that epub support is still buggy but the only issue i'm having is that the chapter titles are read aloud as a ridiculously lengthy chunk of gibberish. A chapter title is spoken as and I quote. 
 
"Span class equals caliber 3 span class equals bold span class equals caliber 7 span class equals underline chapter 5 slash span dot dot slash span dot dot slash span dot dot slash span dot dot span class equals caliber 3 span class equals bold span span" 
 
It's very hard to focus on a book when I'm being distracted by this every few minutes. Like I said it's the only problem i've noticed. Everything else is perfect.

    I would have to get that ebook and see what's going on in it. Is there any chance I could download exactly the same file somewhere on the Internet, or maybe you could send it to me by email? Normally this does not happen, so there is something different in the EPUB file you have.

    For some reason I can't delete this accidental post. Sorry.

    Thank you, Cody! Got the file, will test it. Also deleted the post with the link now, as I understand it was only for my testing, not for everyone else to see. Will let you know when I discover what is the problem and if I was able to fix it.

    Cody,
    I'm now testing your book with @Voice Aloud Reader, and it seems to work correctly for me, don't hear any gibberish at all, just what is written in a book, like "CHAPTER 4 Shocked yowls rose from the Clan..." etc. Could you please tell me if only some particular chapters have this problem? If so, which ones?
     
    Also, which version of @Voice app are you using? Look under the "Help" button or menu - the latest is 6.5.6. If you used an older version, could you upgrade and try again, tell me the result? Also, would need to know which device you are using, which version of Android is installed on it, and which TTS voice you use when the problem occurs. Thanks!

    I was just preparing to record the issue to share it with you when I realized that the latest update seems to have fixed the problem. Now the chapters are read aloud just as they appear without any issues. For the record I was using the previous release of @voice, the latest google TTS, my android version is 4.2.2 and my device is the Hannspad 10.1 inch tablet. Thanks.

    OK, good to hear that the issue is fixed now, thank you! If it happens again, I would need the file on which it happens, and the exact place within that file where to test and look for problems.
    Happy New Year!
