I would like to add a string to my UITextView
and I would like some to be in bold and some in regular font. How should It do this? I have an example of what I would like to achieve below.
Thanks
myTextView.text = "This is my string. "
This is my string.
Below is the attempts I have made.
// Define string attributes
let font = UIFont(name: "Georgia", size: 18.0) ?? UIFont.systemFontOfSize(18.0)
let textFont = [NSFontAttributeName:font]
let fontItal = UIFont(name: "Georgia-Italic", size: 40.0) ?? UIFont.systemFontOfSize(40.0)
let italFont = [NSFontAttributeName:fontItal]
// Create a string that will be our paragraph
let para = NSMutableAttributedString()
// Create locally formatted strings
let attrString1 = NSAttributedString(string: "This is ", attributes:textFont)
let attrString2 = NSAttributedString(string: "my", attributes:italFont)
let attrString3 = NSAttributedString(string: " string.", attributes:textFont)
// Add locally formatted strings to paragraph
para.appendAttributedString(attrString1)
para.appendAttributedString(attrString2)
para.appendAttributedString(attrString3)
// Define paragraph styling
let paraStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
paraStyle.firstLineHeadIndent = 15.0
paraStyle.paragraphSpacingBefore = 10.0
// Apply paragraph styles to paragraph
para.addAttribute(NSParagraphStyleAttributeName, value: paraStyle, range: NSRange(location: 0,length: para.length))
// Add string to UITextView
myTextView.attributedText = para
See this code
@IBOutlet weak var textField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var textView: UITextView!
...
var text: NSString = "This is my string"
var attributedText: NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: text)
attributedText.addAttributes([NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(14)], range: NSRange(location: 5, length: 2))
attributedText.addAttributes([NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(14)], range: NSRange(location: 11, length: 6))
textField.attributedText = attributedText
textView.attributedText = attributedText
This is the output:
