How do I view my .HTML file as a website, not in a text-only format?

I'm learning to use basic HTML. I wrote a short file in TextEdit and opened it using Firefox "File" --> "Open". It loaded the page, but instead of reading the HTML code, it left it as text, including the angle brackets and commands. I would like to view my page as a normal site, with working italics, bolds, hyperlinks, etc. Is it possible to do this with Firefox? If so, how?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I tried to read a simple .HTML file

It sounds as if the file is not recognised by Firefox as an html file - it thinks it's a text file.

I don't know MACs but here on Linux that has nothing to do with whether the file has an 'html' extension. Does the file start with an <html> tag? (After <!DOCTYPE - if you have included that - it's optional.)

If so I suggest that you create the file not with a text editor but with a program that is designed to produce html files. You probably have one on your machine already but if not try Bluefish.

A MAC user could give a better answer.

Good luck.
