HTML from NSAttributedString

Question

Rather than converting HTML to an attributed string, I need to convert it back to HTML. This can easily be done on Mac as can be seen here: http://www.justria.com/2011/01/18/how

Not the 'easy' way, but what about iterating through the attributes of the string using:

- (void)enumerateAttributesInRange:(NSRange)enumerationRange 
                           options:(NSAttributedStringEnumerationOptions)opts 
                        usingBlock:(void (^)(NSDictionary *attrs, NSRange range, BOOL *stop))block

Have an NSMutableString variable to accumulate the HTML (lets call it 'html'). In the block, you would construct the HTML manually using strings. For instance if the text attributes 'attrs' specify red, bold text:

[html appendFormat:@"%@", [originalStr substringWithRange:range]]

EDIT: Stumbled across this yesterday:

NSAttributedString+HTMLFromRange category from "UliKit" (https://github.com/uliwitness/UliKit/blob/master/NSAttributedString+HTMLFromRange.m)

Looks like it will do what you want.
