copied!<p>I have found that when I (as a user of the application) copy rich text from a UITextView into the pasteboard, the pasteboard contains two types:</p> <pre><code>"public.text", "Apple Web Archive pasteboard type </code></pre> <p>Based on that, I created a convenient category on UIPasteboard.<br> (With heavy use of code from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/6566850/272342">this answer</a>). </p> <p>It works, but:<br> <strong>The conversion to html format means I will lose custom attributes. Any clean solution will be gladly accepted.</strong></p> <p>File UIPasteboard+AttributedString.h: </p> <pre><code>@interface UIPasteboard (AttributedString) - (void) setAttributedString:(NSAttributedString *)attributedString; @end </code></pre> <p>File UIPasteboard+AttributedString.m: </p> <pre><code>#import <MobileCoreServices/UTCoreTypes.h> #import "UIPasteboard+AttributedString.h" @implementation UIPasteboard (AttributedString) - (void) setAttributedString:(NSAttributedString *)attributedString { NSString *htmlString = [attributedString htmlString]; // This uses DTCoreText category NSAttributedString+HTML - https://github.com/Cocoanetics/DTCoreText NSDictionary *resourceDictionary = @{ @"WebResourceData" : [htmlString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding], @"WebResourceFrameName": @"", @"WebResourceMIMEType" : @"text/html", @"WebResourceTextEncodingName" : @"UTF-8", @"WebResourceURL" : @"about:blank" }; NSDictionary *htmlItem = @{ (NSString *)kUTTypeText : [attributedString string], @"Apple Web Archive pasteboard type" : @{ @"WebMainResource" : resourceDictionary } }; [self setItems:@[ htmlItem ]]; } @end </code></pre> <p>Only implemented setter. If you want to write the getter, and/or put it on GitHub, be my guest :)</p>
