    Description

      When running the command line ExtractText with the -html flag, the output file always has the following meta tag specifying UTF-16 regardless of the actual output encoding:

      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="UTF-16">

      This causes editors that respect the meta tag (emacs, etc.) to garble the file content.
