KMMarkdownParser is a really simple mini-markdown to NSAttributedString converter.
The span elements bold (**), italic (*), underline (_), monospace
and links (both the <url> and [title](url) variants), as well as headers (#, ##, etc.)
are supported at the moment.
Create an instance of KMMarkdownParser, optionally set a font name and size,
then call attributedStringFromString:.
Your NSAttributedString is ready for use in a UILabel, UITextView etc.
KMMarkdownParser markdownParser = [[KMMarkdownParser alloc] init];
markdownParser.fontName = @"AvenirNext-Regular";
markdownParser.fontSize = 20.0;
NSString *markdownString = @"A `markdown` string with **bold** and *italic* text.";
self.textView.attributedText = [markdownParser attributedStringFromString:markdownString];See the example project for more information, the code is extremely well-documented.
Here is some markdown:
**Metamorphosis**
*Franz Kafka*
_Translated by David Wyllie_
**I**
One morning, when *Gregor Samsa* woke from _troubled dreams_,
he found himself *transformed* in his bed into **a horrible vermin**.
He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little **he could see his brown belly**,
slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.
The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. **His many legs**,
pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.
And here is what it looks like after converted into an NSAttributedString using KMMarkdownParser
and set as the attributedText of a UITextView:
