iOS put HTML text in UILabel

Question

I need to put HTML text with bold,italic and links in a UILabel. If I use NSAttributedString the links aren't clickable. If I use TTTAttributedLabel links are clickable but the formatting (bold and italic) is not visibile.

This problem drive me crazy! Ideas?

You can check [RTLabel](https://github.com/honcheng/RTLabel) whether it helps or not? — Rahul Shirphule, Aug 03 '15 at 16:02
Are you able to use UITextView instead of a UILable? I'm not sure, but it may help. — Andrej, Aug 03 '15 at 16:15

You can make the link formatting work using TTTAttributedLabel. For example, this will color links blue and underline them (in Swift):

let bodyLabel: TTTAttributedLabel

let content = "TTTAttributedLabel will detect http://example.com"
let attributedContent = NSMutableAttributedString(string: content)

// add some attributes as you need to the attributed string, then...

let blueLinks = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.blueColor()]

bodyLabel.enabledTextCheckingTypes = NSTextCheckingType.Link.rawValue
bodyLabel.linkAttributes = blueLinks

bodyLabel.setText(attributedContent)
