Use HTML like markup to create stylized text in ReactNative.
React Native provide a Text element for stylized text. Instead of using NSAttributedString, you creat nested Text:
<Text style={{fontWeight: 'bold'}}> I am bold <Text style={{color: 'red'}}> and red </Text> </Text>
While this approach is excellent for static interface text, what if we have dynamic text with format we do not know until we use it? HtmlText is a component to present a limited subset of HTML as React Native views.
Important: This is not going to replace your WebView for HTML rendering, instead it use a limited subset of HTML and try to present it using native Text elements in a reasonable way.
render: function() { var html = `<p>Hello world <b>world</b> <i>foo</i> bar hahh</p>` return ( <View style={styles.container}> <HtmlText style={styles.welcome} html={html}></HtmlText> </View> ); }
render: function() { var html = `<blockquote><p>Hello world <b>world</b> <i>foo</i> <blockquote>bar hahh</blockquote></p></blockquote>` return ( <View style={styles.container}> <HtmlText style={styles.welcome} html={html}></HtmlText> </View> ); }
