Uploading Watched Words is not working?

In my case there was a special character being used by excel’s csv which was breaking it. I had to edit the csv in my text editor to fix it. However, there is another issue, which is that if you try to upload a list to the “Replace” tab, there seems to be no way of indicating in the csv that the output should be in HTML. The download also doesn’t provide any flag to indicate html or not.
