You'll want to save the file with a .txt extension. Some people like
to use .rst, but I recommend .txt because your computer already knows
what that means -- double click on a .txt file, and it will open in
TextEdit.

To make an HTML file, you must already have Docutils installed. Use
the rst2html.py program, which is part of Docutils. Open a shell (use
Terminal), and run this command:

    rst2html.py myfile.txt myfile.html

(Replace "myfile" with the name of your file.)

If you're not familiar with the terms I used, you'll need more basic
instructions.  Let us know.
