How do I make an attributed string using Swift?

Answer 1

Swift 2.0

Here is a sample:

let newsString: NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Tap here to read the latest Football News.")
newsString.addAttributes([NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName: NSUnderlineStyle.StyleDouble.rawValue], range: NSMakeRange(4, 4))
sampleLabel.attributedText = newsString.copy() as? NSAttributedString

Swift 5.x

let newsString: NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Tap here to read the latest Football News.")
newsString.addAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.underlineStyle: NSUnderlineStyle.double.rawValue], range: NSMakeRange(4, 4))
sampleLabel.attributedText = newsString.copy() as? NSAttributedString

OR

let stringAttributes = [
    NSFontAttributeName : UIFont(name: "Helvetica Neue", size: 17.0)!,
    NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName : 1,
    NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.orangeColor(),
    NSTextEffectAttributeName : NSTextEffectLetterpressStyle,
    NSStrokeWidthAttributeName : 2.0]
let atrributedString = NSAttributedString(string: "Sample String: Attributed", attributes: stringAttributes)
sampleLabel.attributedText = atrributedString
