iOS CoreText test app

CoreTextToy

This is a small test project for iOS CoreText related experimentation.

CMarkupValueTransformer

A value transformer capable of converting simple HTML into a NSAttributedString. At the moment it only supports "b" and "i" tags (in any valid, nested combinations) but that is quite easy to expand. Each tag combination can have their set of attributes.

TODO

• Support HTML entities
• Support tags with attributes. This is important for the "a" tag.
• Support basic CSS styling (changing colour of text perhaps)
• Support links
• Support tags like "p" & "br" that don't style the text but do control flow (br is now implemented)

UIFont_CoreTextExtensions

Extension on UIFont to get a CTFont and to get bold/italic, etc versions of the font. Scans the font name to work out the attributes of a particular font. This code is crude and effective - but needs to be tested on all iOS font names (esp. the weirder ones).

CCoreTextLabel

Beginning of a UILabel workalike that uses CoreTest to render NSAttributedString objects.
