I need to make subscripts for chemistry formulas (H2O, Na^2+, etc)?
Is this possible to do with NSAttributedString, or is there an alternative/easier way to make subscripts?
This is possible to do with
NSAttributedString. The attribute constant you’re looking for depends on your platform. For Mac OS X it isNSSuperscriptAttributeNameand on iOS it iskCTSuperscriptAttributeName. Pass in a negative value for subscript.The only caveat is that
UILabelon iOS can’t drawNSAttributedStrings (yet, fingers crossed for iOS 6). You would need to draw the text using Core Text or find some third party replacement forUILabelthat can draw anNSAttributedString.
