This is a Markdown => NSAttributedString parser built on top of a flex parser. It takes an NSString and returns an NSAttributedString with markdown tags replaced by CoreText formatting attributes.
This project is a fork of NSAttributedMarkdownParser by NimbusKit: https://github.com/NimbusKit/markdown
Add pod 'XNGMarkdownParser' to your Podfile and do a pod install.
- Drag all of the files from the src/ directory into your project.
- Import XNGMarkdownParser.h in your project.
- Create an instance of the parser object and pass it the string you wish to parse.
- Plug the resulting NSAttributedString into your favorite NSAttributedString label implementation (like an UITextView)

###Simplest example
XNGMarkdownParser *parser = [[XNGMarkdownParser alloc] init];
NSAttributedString *string = [parser attributedStringFromMarkdownString:@"This is __rad__."];// this parser initializes only once and customizes fonts, line height and link color
+ (XNGMarkdownParser *)titleMarkdownParser {
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
static XNGMarkdownParser *parser;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
parser = [[XNGMarkdownParser alloc] init];
parser.paragraphFont = [UIFont xng_14Font];
parser.boldFontName = [UIFont xng_14Font].fontName;
parser.linkFontName = [UIFont xng_14Font].fontName;
const CGFloat lineHeight = 18;
NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
paragraphStyle.minimumLineHeight = lineHeight;
parser.topAttributes = @{
NSParagraphStyleAttributeName: paragraphStyle,
NSForegroundColorAttributeName: self.textColor
};
});
return parser;
