Core Text to render HTML content

I was wondering if is there a way to render html content using core text, because the common UIWebView is slow as hell to load up.

I've got very basic needs:

- reading p tag开发者_StackOverflows

- reading span tags

- using colors

- using fonts and sizes

that's all.

thanks you so much!

ok I solved this in a bit tricky way.
I implemented a HTMLParser to extract the characters that I needed to be formatted in a different way. than I proceeded to use the string in Core-Text.

my references were

[HTMLParser] https://github.com/zootreeves/Objective-C-HMTL-Parser
remember that this one has a problem by parsing two tags one after another
(e.g. < p >< span >. . . < /span >< /p >)

See this open-source project: https://github.com/Cocoanetics/DTCoreText

It won't help you render an attributed string with Core Text, but it will help you convert HTML to an NSAttributedString.

This question has already been answered better here:

No need to use DTCoreText if you're targeting iOS 7 and up (which you should be doing, by now).

Here's a reprint of the code in the answer (important flag: NSHTMLTextDocumentType):

[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithData:[htmlString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] 
                                 options:@{NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType,
                                           NSCharacterEncodingDocumentAttribute: @(NSUTF8StringEncoding)} 
                      documentAttributes:nil 
                                   error:nil];
