Question

I’m new to iphone/ ios programming. I’m developing a simple app to display formatted text (italic, bold, underline, tab space). What should I use?

1) Store the text in core data, SQL, or files?

2) Code the text in xml and parse it (below)? Or, is there another way, just copy and paste from MS Word? Or do I use UIWebView?

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"event" ofType:@"xml"];

3) What’s an easy way to mark a page “favorite” so that I can retrieve those pages easily?

4) For “favorite” pages, do I store the info in core data, SQL, or write to files?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer these basic questions.
