I have a UITextView with attributedText that has multiple new line breaks included in its attributed string.
NSMutableAttributedString *info = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@""];
NSAttributedString *title = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@\n", item.title] attributes:titleAttributes];
NSAttributedString *description = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@\n\n", description] attributes:descriptionAttributes]
[info appendAttributedString:bioItemTitle];
[info appendAttributedString:bioItemDescription];
textView.attributedText = info;
I've set the lineBreakMode of the textView's textContainer to NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail.
textView.textContainer.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail;
The textView's textContainer also has a maximum number of lines.
textView.textContainer.maximumNumberOfLines = 8;
The problem arises when the 8th line of the textView is a new line, and not a line of characters. The textContainer truncates by removing the new line and replacing it with the next line of written characters.
How do I preserve the new line while still setting a lineBreakMode?
Try using UILabel
instead of UITextView
. It seems to play nicer in regard to truncating a new line.
