RHMarkdownLabel

Introduction

RHMarkdownLabel is UILabel replacement for supporting markdown. RHMarkdownLabel provides a -setMarkdown:method, which converts the markdown string to an NSAttributedString and displays it in the label. For example:

	NSString *md = @"This is **bold**.";
	[self.myLabel setMarkdown:md];

Most of the logic behind RHMarkdownLabel is contained in its two dependencies. RHMarkdownLabel is a subclass of TTTAttributedLabel and uses XNGMarkdownParser to parse and convert the markdown to an NSAttributedString . RHMarkdownLabel is just the glue between these repositories.

Installation

CocoaPods makes it easy to include RHMarkdownLabel in your project. Edit your Podfile and add:

pod 'RHMarkdownLabel'

Handling Links

RHMarkdownLabel provides a block interface for handling tapped links (instead of using the delegate pattern of TTTAttributedLabel). For example:

	[self.myLabel setDidSelectLinkWithURLBlock:^(RHMarkdownLabel *label, NSURL *url) {
		NSLog(@"The user tapped on %@.", url.absoluteString);
	}];

Block for other types such as addresses, phone numbers, dates, and transit information are still pending.

NSString+markdown.h Category

RHMarkdownLabel also contains an NSString category for processing markdown strings.
