UITextView does not support any kind of tables, but I'm trying to create a text view implementation which would be able to show tables alongside normal text.

Basically: My macOS port uses NSTextTable to render some paragraphs next to each other when creating a PDF. I'm trying to come up with a way to achieve this on iOS.

Documentation and real-world implementations of TextKit 2 are still a bit hazy, but I'm interested if it would be possible to create my own content types using NSTextElement and NSTextElementProvider. If I'm reading it correctly, I'd define a range which is governed by my own implementation/layout?

As the documentation is so sparse, I'm very unsure how to actually implement an NSTextElement which would also be rendered as text when saved as a PDF — or if any of this would even be possible.

Any help or hints would be appreciated.
