TextEditer for Mac

My html being saved by "TextEdit" on Mac will NOT show up in any browser correctly. It just shows the text I wrote.

Ok, when you are in TextEdit go to Format and select make plain text. Have you also done that? I tried on some sample code and it seems to work for me.

Yay! Well I am glad that helped. But you should get a text editor like Sublime Text http://www.sublimetext.com/2 and start using it, it will be much easier with syntax highlighting and plug-ins like Emmet. Goodluck!
