A PDF document is made of individual characters and curves/lines, but it
does not mean that it is possible to render it as lines of characters,
as for subscripts and superscripts, fractions and long bars it becomes
difficult to get something good when constrained by lines.  tex4ht tries
to use characters (and <sub>/<sup>) when rendering HTML, but falls back
to images for complex math.

If I recall well, symbolic calculus software often tries to have
representations using chracters on lines only, it is not that bad, but
not as good as specifically placed symbols.
