What you just showed us is not valid HTML code. Maybe that's the problem. 😉

First define your local site folder. Go to Site > New Site.

Select a folder on your local hard drive for your project files. For example, C:\MyTestSite\.

Hit OK.

Go to File > New > New Document > HTML and hit the CREATE button.

The resulting code is a valid HTML document. Double-click in Live view panel to add/edit text in the panel. See screenshot.

Hope that helps.
