UILabel replacement to draw NSAttributedString or HTML with custom font and color in iOS applications. "numberOfLines" and "truncation" (NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail) is supported.

    CoreTextLabel * label  = [[CoreTextLabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
    label.string           = [label attributedStringByHTML:htmlString];
    [label sizeToFit];
    [self.view addSubview:label];

Add CoreTextLabel pod to your Podfile.

$ vim Podfile

platform :ios, '5.0'
pod 'CoreTextLabel', :head

And then you install the dependencies in your project.

$ pod install

Remember to always open the Xcode workspace instead of the project file when you're building.

$ open App.xcworkspace

CoreTextLabel 1.0 and higher requires iOS 3.2 and above.

• QuartzCore
• CoreText

CoreTextLabel uses ARC as of its 1.0 release.

If you are using CoreTextLabel 1.0 in your non-arc project, you will need to set a -fobjc-arc compiler flag on all of the CoreTextLabel source files.

To set a compiler flag in Xcode, go to your active target and select the "Build Phases" tab. Now select all CoreTextLabel source files, press Enter, insert -fobjc-arc or -fno-objc-arc and then "Done" to enable or disable ARC for CoreTextLabel.
