iPhone and iPad Rich Text Editor

Question

I need to create a rich text editor (for text alignment, fonts, text and background colours, bold, italics, underlining etc) for an iPhone and iPad app. How should I accomplish. I have heard of storing the data as HTML and rendering it in a UIWebView, but how can I allow the user to edit the data without having to interact with the HTML source?

Answer 1

Go into the style part of Three20 UI. It may be what you need for. I don't know if it is a overkill for a starter, but you may try

Answer 2

In iOS >= 4 you can use contentEditable and designMode under your UIWebView.
