Simplifies working with attributed strings by allowing you to use HTML to describe formatting behaviors.
NSAttributedString+DDHTML isn't intended to support full HTML rendering. Instead it provides a quick, effient and light-weight implementation for leveraging attributed strings when utilizing native UIKit interface elements.
It is open source and covered by a standard BSD license. That means you have to mention Derek Bowen @ Deloite Digital as the original author of this code.
NSAttributedString+DDHTML requires a minimum iOS deployment target of iOS 4.3 becuse of:
- ARC
- Add NSAttributedString+DDHTML.m/h to your project.
- Add libxml2.dylib to the "Link Binary With Libraries" section of your target's build phase.
- Add ${SDKROOT}/usr/include/libxml2 to your project's Header Search Paths under Build Settings.
- Start using it!
#import "NSAttributedString+DDHTML.h"
...
NSAttributedString *attributedString = [NSAttributedString attributedStringFromHTML:@"My <b>formatted</b> string." boldFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:12.0]];
...
- This tag only works if the boldFont parameter isn't nil.
