Displaying html in a table view cell

Question

I am working a rss reader app for iphone . What are my options for displaying entry summary in rss feed ( which could be html) in a tableviewcell without compromising scroll performance . I dont control the feed so html in summary section is out of my control .

I am thinking of uiwebview would be my last option ( so rss feeds have images and stuff in there, unfortunately ) . I was thinking if there was a way to extract summary text from html.

Answer 1

You can use a WebKit view, UIWebView to present the feed and add it a subview to the UITableViewCell.

You need to worry about the cell height and making the UIWebView non-scrollable.
