My preview opens with the tags . what am I doing wrong?

When I write <h1>My Name</h1>, when I preview it, it comes up with the tags. What do I need to do so that it would come as My Name without the tag?

index.html

Press the preview (eye) button to see the rendered HTML instead of the HTML file itself.

Since the link opens a new workspace, let me put the code here. Does this look like what you have?

<h1>Any name</h1>
