Usage
In order to use MarkdownKit to transform Markdown into NSAttributedString, all you have to do is create an instance of MarkdownParser
and call the parse(_)
function.
let markdownParser = MarkdownParser()
let markdown = "I support a *lot* of custom Markdown **Elements**, even `code`!"
label.attributedText = markdownParser.parse(markdown)
Customization
let markdownParser = MarkdownParser(font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 18))
markdownParser.enabledElements = .disabledAutomaticLink
markdownParser.bold.color = UIColor.red
markdownParser.italic.font = UIFont.italicSystemFont(ofSize: 300)
markdownParser.header.fontIncrease = 4
Extensibility
To add new Markdown elements all you have to do is implement the MarkdownElement
protocol (or descendants) and add it to the MarkdownParser
.
import MarkdownKit
class MarkdownSubreddit: MarkdownLink {
private static let regex = "(^|\\s|\\W)(/?r/(\\w+)/?)"
override var regex: String {
return MarkdownSubreddit.regex
}
override func match(match: NSTextCheckingResult,
attributedString: NSMutableAttributedString) {
let subredditName = attributedString.attributedSubstringFromRange(match.rangeAtIndex(3)).string
let linkURLString = "http://reddit.com/r/\(subredditName)"
formatText(attributedString, range: match.range, link: linkURLString)
addAttributes(attributedString, range: match.range, link: linkURLString)
}
}
let markdownParser = MarkdownParser(customElements: [MarkdownSubreddit()])
let markdown = "**/r/iosprogramming** can be *markdown* as well!"
label.attributedText = markdownParser.parse(markdown)
