Rich Text Editing in IOS

Rich Text Editing :

In this series of tutorials we’ll be looking at creating a simple Rich Text Editor which you can easily implement in your own apps.

Normally people look at creating a Rich Text Editor to be an extremely difficult task as it means having to build it from scratch using the Core Text framework in combination with the UITextInput protocol. Apple provide no standard control for Rich Text Editing, UITextView its self only supports one style, so that’s one font, one color, one justification for the whole document. So where does this leave us? It looks like we only have one option and that’s to use Core Text but there is in fact one other option that has been opened up to us in iOS 5.
This other mysterious option is UIWebView, as of iOS 5 contentEditable can be set to true in a web view, this enables the user to edit all content inside a web page. Today we are going to leverage the power of the DOM to create our own Rich Text Editor.

note: Please be aware this tutorial will only work on iOS 5
