How do I make my typeset cells use text and not GIFs?

When saving notebooks as HTML, many GIFs are required to represent typeset cells.

To instead use text, use the option ConversionOptions. For example,

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

If you wish to set this as the default (so that the menu command File > Save As Special > HTML will use it), use SetOptions.

In[1]:=

Out[5]=

Because the HTML does not use GIFs, the cells will lose their typesetting.
