I have text with HTML format and I want to use this text in my iOS application. I use NSAttributedStringto save properties that text has through HTML tags (e.g. <strong></strong>). The thing is, [NSAttributedString initWithData:options:documentAttributes:error:]converts the text with the default font as Times New Roman. I tried to use NSMutableAttributedStringto change the font to [UIFont systemFontOfSize:], but it destroys the properties that it has using HTML tags. How can I get around this? Is there a way to change the default font?
EDIT:
For example, the text I'm trying to parse is as follows:
"Activities are typically <strong>directed at a group of people</strong> rather than individuals"
The code below parses HTML text from Times New Roman:
NSMutableAttributedString* itemWithStyle = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithData:[text dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] options:@{NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType, NSCharacterEncodingDocumentAttribute: @(NSUTF8StringEncoding) documentAttributes:nil error:nil];
Output:
