To use just the text view in your own nibs / storyboards etc, copy the MPC_LinkedTextView{.h/.m} files into your project.

If you need a custom UITableViewCell to show linked text, also copy the MPC_LinkedTextViewCell {.h/.m/.xib} files. Remember to register the nib file in your UITableView subclass before using these cells.

To use:

As a standalone textview subclass:

1. In a xib or storyboard, set the MPC_LinkedTextView as the custom class of your UITextView object in the Identity Inspector.

2. Create an outlet:

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet MPC_LinkedTextView *linkedTextView;

2. Call the public method:

 updateTextViewWithFullText: linkTriggerText: linkURLString:

Within the MPC_LinkedTextViewCell:

1. Register the nib as shown in LinkedTableViewController

2. After instantiating a cell, set the text via the .linkedTextView property of the MPC_LinkedTextViewCell

MPC_LinkedTextViewCell *cell = [table dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:[MPC_LinkedTextViewCell reuseID] forIndexPath:path];

[cell.linkedTextView updateTextViewWithFullText:@"For the best pizza in Thailand, try New York Pizza House" linkTriggerText:@"New York Pizza House" linkURLString:@"https://www.newyorkpizza.co.th"];

3. Dig into MPC_LinkedTextView.m to customize how the textView appears visually and spacially.
