There was a bug in the plugin where if input_encoding was set, then
HTMLPlug didn't get passed the input_encoding option correctly.

Please find the following code (line 155) in perllib/plugins/WordPlug.pm
# wvWare will always produce html files encoded as utf-8
if ($self->{'input_encoding'} eq "auto") {
$self->{'input_encoding'} = "utf8";
$self->{'extract_language'} = 1;
push(@$html_options,"-input_encoding", "utf8");
push(@$html_options,"-extract_language");
}

Move the line
push(@$html_options,"-input_encoding", "utf8");
to outside the if statement, i.e.

# wvWare will always produce html files encoded as utf-8
if ($self->{'input_encoding'} eq "auto") {
$self->{'input_encoding'} = "utf8";
$self->{'extract_language'} = 1;
push(@$html_options,"-extract_language");
}
push(@$html_options,"-input_encoding", "utf8");

And hopefully this will work. You'll need to reimport and rebuild the
collection. If it doesn't work, please let me know.

Regards,
Katherine
