Textedit is a word processor and that may be your problem. It might require you to set it up properly to handle text files. You may want to switch to a dedicated text editor like sublime text.

11,576 Points<!DOCTYPE html> should not be showing up. Does your code like like <!doctype html> or like <!DOCTYPE html>? Is <!DOCTYPE html> at the beginning or the end?
Charles Harpke

<meta charset=“utf-8”>
<title>My Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a level 1 headline</h1>
<h2>This is a level 2 headline</h2>
<h3>This is a level 3 headline</h3>
<h4>This is a level 4 headline</h4>
<h5>This is a level 5 headline</h5>
<h6>This is a level 6 headline</h6>
