This project aims to duplicate the methods present on Mac OSX which allow creation of NSAttributedString from HTML code on iOS.
The project covers two broad areas:
- Layouting – Interfacing with CoreText, generating attributed strings from HTML code
- User Interface – UI-related classes render these objects, specifically DTAttributedTextView, DTAttributedLabel and DTAttributedTextCell.
This is useful for drawing simple rich text like any HTML document without having to use a UIWebView. For text selection and highlighting (as you might need for an Editor or Reader) there is the commercial DTRichTextEditor component which can be purchased in the Cocoanetics Parts Store.
