UITextView Rich text?

Question

I was wondering if UITextView can display rich text? I want to have simple formatting on my read only text (like different alignment for different parts of the text). if not

Answer 1

Generally, the best way to do this is to use a UIWebView and load local content in where you can insert tags and whatever else you need. Local loading should be fast and you can stylize it to look like any uitextview

Another option is to use a UILabel subclass instead and get the Three20 open-souce code. You want the TTStyledTextLabel.
