Answer 1

Extend the system-editing menu

NSMutableArray *extraItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
UIMenuItem *boldItem = [[UIMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:@”Bold” 
                                                  action:@selector(bold:)];
[extraItems addObject:boldItem];
[[UIMenuController sharedMenuController].menuItems = extraItems;

UIWebView
Extend the system-editing menu

// For your UIWebView subclass:
 - (void)bold:(id)sender {
    [self stringByEvaluatingJavaScript:@”document.execCommand(‘Bold’)];
}

 - (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender {
    if (action == @selector(bold:))
      return YES;
    return [super canPerformAction:action
                        withSender:sender];
}
