I modified your code so the body tag doesn't have the style param. I moved all that to the style tag:
HTML: 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    
    <title>HTML in sublime text 3</title>
    
    <style>   
body{
    background: url(https://cdn.cjr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/AdobeStock_100000042-e1563305717660-1300x500.jpeg);
    background-size: 100% 100%;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center;
    background-color: black;
    text-align: center;
    color: white;
}
</style>

</head>
<body>

    <span style='font-family: fantasy'><h1><center>How to code with HTML in sublime text 3</center></h1></span>
    <span style='font-family: arial'><h2><center>By liam Ferguson</center></h2></span>

</body>
<p><center>_________________________________________________________________________________</center>
    
</p>
<p>
    <span style='font-family: cursive'><P><center>Sublime Text 3 is a coding program that allows you to edit programs,create programs and edit text</center></P>
</p>

</html>

Not sure if you'd need semicolon separators in the style body parameter to make it work the way you had it.

This also works:

HTML: 
<body style= "background: url(https://cdn.cjr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/AdobeStock_100000042-e1563305717660-1300x500.jpeg); background-size: 100% 100%; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center;">

Semicolons and colons added.
