Hi guys, I just downloaded Sublime, but I'm not sure how to open it in a browser.

Let me know if you need more help!

7,304 PointsFirst, Richard Duffy is correct when he says that Sublime Text is a text editor where you can edit code in, a separate piece of software from the browser.
Second, you want to format your
.htmlfiles to open up in browser by default.If you're using a Mac here would be the process:
1.Right click on an
.htmlfile. (For example,index.htmlthat's in nearly every project notes on the right of a video.) 2.Hover over Open With.. 3.Go to the bottom and click Other.. 4.Check off Always Open With at the bottom of the popup pane 5.Click on the browser you use.Now test it, try double-clicking on your
.html fileand it should open in the browser. Now you can edit these files in Sublime Text, save them, and preview what they'd look like in the browser.
