htm and html files generated #7

I'm noticing that when I run the exporter, I am getting two versions of every note: one with the htm extension, and the other with html:

The files are mostly similar, however all of the .html files have mis-encoded "RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK" characters (Unicode codepoint U+2019). For example:

I'm running macOS Sonoma (14.6.1), zsh 5.9, and miniconda for the Python dependencies (installed by the built-in script).

The txt file exports do not seem to have this issue.

(EDIT: Also, thank you for this wonderful tool. It's great to have peace of mind that, should Apple Notes go belly-up for some reason, I have a safe copy of my data!)

Reading the code and todos a little bit more, it seems like maybe it's expected that there are separate HTM and HTML files, so perhaps the ask here is just to document the purpose of the two files, and understand if the encoding issue is an expected thing or a glitch :)

Thanks!
