Which text editor are you using? Normally every text editor can open .html files. Happy coding!

I 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!
