Description:

render as PNG because \sim won't convert to a tilde for HTML rendering.

According to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html

There is a sim entity:

<!ENTITY sim CDATA "∼"

tilde operator = varies with = similar to, U+223C ISOtech -->

but in firefox it looks really different. I used &tilde; instead
and commited that in trunk as r14314
