Previously I mentioned a nice component for creating rich text with a number of styles and shadowing, but unfortunately many of the other rich text labels are no longer updated and working properly.
Here’s a very nice implementation of a UILabel with added support for rich text and clickable links called MDHTMLLabel from Matt Donnely.
MDHTMLLabel supports links, font styles, custom kerning and spacing (so you can make sure your alternative fonts look right), coloring, and more.
What’s really nice about RTLabel is that it lets you easily control how links in the text are handled when links are tapped or held down using a couple of delegate methods, and that you can customize the appearance of links.
Here’s an image from the readme showing HTMLLabel in action:
You can find MDHTMLLabel on Github here.
