UILabel attributedText with multiple line break modes

Question

I have a requirement of showing a UILabel with text that has two different styles (different colours, parts of the text bolded). This is solved easily enough by using the attrib

Answer 1

I missed truncation when I set linespacing, but all I had to to was add linebreakmode to paragraphstyle

NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragrahStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
[paragrahStyle setLineSpacing:1.5];
[paragrahStyle setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail];
NSMutableAttributedString *attributedText = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Long string that truncates"];
[attributedText addAttribute:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName value:paragrahStyle range:NSMakeRange(0, [attributedText length])];

self.label.attributedText = attributedText;

Answer 2

You can set up an NSParagraphStyle with any lineBreakMode you please, and apply it to the string using NSParagraphStyleAttributeName. I don't know if all of the values of NSLineBreakMode are supported, but I have no reason to believe they aren't.

Answer 3

try this:

[_text drawWithRect:_textRect options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin | NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine attributes:attributes context:nil];

Answer 4

They only way I've been able to get this to work is to not set a paragraph style.
