Core Text Label

An iOS library that lets you get started rendering basic Core Text in your apps. It's essentially a subclass of UILabel that allows you to set kerning, line height, & multiple fonts.

A few words

Make sure to add the Core Text framework before adding the class to your project. Currently supporting iOS 6.0+.

As easy as pie

	NMCustomLabel *label = [[NMCustomLabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
	label.htmlString.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Tacos are <span class='%@'>delicious</span>, <span class='ital_style'>seriously</span>", NMCustomLabelStyleBoldKey];
	[label.htmlString setDefaultStyle:[NMCustomLabelStyle styleWithFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue" size:12] color:[UIColor colorWithWhite:153/255.0 alpha:1.0]]];
	[label.htmlString setStyle:[NMCustomLabelStyle styleWithFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Bold" size:13] color:[UIColor colorWithWhite:53/255.0 alpha:1.0]] forKey:@"bold_style"];
	[label.htmlString setStyle:[NMCustomLabelStyle styleWithFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-LightItalic" size:12] color:[UIColor colorWithWhite:153/255.0 alpha:1.0]] forKey:@"ital_style"];
	label.htmlString.kern = -0.5;
	label.htmlString.lineHeight = 12;
	[self.view addSubview:label];
