14,766 PointsI am working on windows so i don't know TextEdit but i googled it and it seems to be a known problem. It can be fixed in the settings but i would recommend that you use a text editor like Brackets (the workspace here in treehouse is based on Brackets). TextWrangler might be also an option.
Here is a link to fix TextEdit: http://osxdaily.com/2013/01/14/view-html-source-code-textedit-mac-os-x/
Hope that helps. Happy coding!
