[l2h] Subscripts without math mode?

Is there any way to get latex2html to *not* go into math mode when
it encounters a superscript or subscript? I have a series of documents
that are liberally sprinkled with simple subscripts like C_b or L_wl.
Unfortunately, latex2html converts every one of these into an image.
This means that the conversion takes a long time, the number of image
files is huge, the resulting HTML is unsearchable, and the display is
ugly.
A sample is below, showing the LaTex source document, what the HTML
ends up as, and what I would really prefer.
Anyone have any ideas? TIA.
BTW, I searched the latex2html email archives and found a message from
1995 saying that
The other conclusion of that discussion was that "all" maths should be
converted the same way (i.e. to a GIF, or whatever) instead of making
some HTML code and the others GIFs. Hopefully someone will implement
that into a latex2html patch since it will solve the consistancy problems,
regardless of which equation conversion method is used.
So I may just be SOL, since this is apparently a feature. <sigh>
But any assistance would be much appreciated. I'm stumped.
