TextEdit User Guide

You can use TextEdit to edit or display HTML documents as you’d see them in a browser (images may not appear), or in code-editing mode.

Note: By default, curly quotes and em dashes are substituted for straight quotes and hyphens when editing HTML as formatted text. (Code-editing mode uses straight quotes and hyphens.) To learn how to change this preference, see New Document options.

TextEdit is a text editor that comes preinstalled on your Mac.
2. Mac Snow Leopard makes it easy for you to create and edit your text files, such as word-processing files. Text files let you create and format documents that include text and photos and even embed music and video files for Web pages you build. Virtually every computer ever built can read and write in standard.
