I'm storing text in a sqlite file and setting the text of a UITextView to be the value of that text. The only problem is that the UITextView isn't honoring the newline character. Instead, it's printing it out as text. Here's an example: Stored in fruit.sqlite and passed to theFruit object: requiredFruit = "apples\n oranges\n pears" ...

I am attempting to work on an app that highlights certain key words. For this reason, I am looking at using either CoreText or UIStringDrawing to highlight these words (As in bold/underline/italicize/color) since UITextView doesn't seem to have these facilities (And I haven't had any luck with CATextLayer). In either case I am able to s...
