I have searched and searched and I can't find anything that tells me how to set HTML text as the default.
WYSIWYG is defialtely NOT what you get.
If you're using CKEditor 4 or
If you're using CKEditor 4.1 or above, make sure you have the Bold, Italic, Underline plugins installed in your toolbar. The best way to do that is to build your own package using the online CKBuilder and add Basic Styles to the package. To make underline appear you'll have to open config.js and remove underline from the config.removeButtons list.
CKEditor has a function called ACF that automatically strips code when the associated buttons are not in the toolbar. You can read more about it here.
