I have a single view whose only UI element is a UITextView
. In viewDidLoad:
I create an attributed string with "Text\n" and set the text view's attributed text as such:
NSAttributedString *string = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Text\n"];
[self.textView setAttributedText:string];
My problem is that the line break is ignored when I run the app.
If I use an NSString
and setText:
that doesn't happen.
NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:@"Text\n"];
[self.textView setText:string];
Can anyone shed some light on what is happening? I can't seem to find anything in documentation or otherwise.
You can use this:
NSMutableAttributedString *cr = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString: @"\n"];
So if you have two NSMutableAttributedString (string1 and string2) you can do:
[string1 appendAttributedString: cr];
[string1 appendAttributedString: string2];
It's horrible and not elegant.... but it works!!!
