iPhone Attributed String

Question

Any ideas on how to get the functionality of an attributed string on an iPhone.

Specifically, I am writing out chemical compounds and want to properly display subscripts: for example:

H₂O (the 2 should be a subscript)

Thanks for any suggestions

Answer 1

You can use a UIWebView and HTML, or draw it yourself using the NSString + UIKit additions, or CoreGraphics.

Answer 2

Thanks, never thought about a UIWebVIew, but that looks like the easiest way to get it done.

Answer 3

You may find it more convenient to use the Unicode characters set up for subscripts:

SUBSCRIPT TWO is U+2082: H₂0
