All your bases are<

Answer 1

As Evan Mulawski wrote, UILabel won't get you what you want. For that matter, neither will UITextField nor UITextView.

Another approach would be to subclass UIView and write a -drawRect: method that does what you want. You might look at

• CGContextShowTextAtPoint
• [NSString drawAtPoint:withFont:]
• [NSString sizeWithFont:]

If you won't be requiring a lot of line breaks and wrapping, then you could probably craft something fairly easily.

UIWebView would probably be faster but it seems like a lot of overhead for something as simple as a styled label.
