copied!<blockquote> <p>This is an old answer that I posted some years ago. My intention was not to provide a "good" and "respectable" solution, but a "hacky" one that might be useful under some circunstances. Please, don't use this solution unless nothing else works.</p> <p>Actually, it works perfectly fine in many situations that other answers don't because the UIWebView is doing all the work. And you can even inject some javascript (which can be dangerous and/or useful). The performance should be horrible, but actually is not that bad. </p> </blockquote> <p>There is another solution that has to be mentioned. Just create a <code>UIWebView</code>, load the encoded string and get the text back. It escapes tags "<>", and also decodes all html entities (e.g. "&gt;") and it might work where other's don't (e.g. using cyrillics). I don't think it's the best solution, but it can be useful if the above solutions doesn't work.</p> <p>Here is a small example using ARC:</p> <pre><code>@interface YourClass() <UIWebViewDelegate> @property UIWebView *webView; @end @implementation YourClass - (void)someMethodWhereYouGetTheHtmlString:(NSString *)htmlString { self.webView = [[UIWebView alloc] init]; NSString *htmlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<html><body>%@</body></html>", self.description]; [self.webView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:nil]; self.webView.delegate = self; } - (void)webView:(UIWebView *)webView didFailLoadWithError:(NSError *)error { self.webView = nil; } - (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView { self.webView = nil; NSString *escapedString = [self.webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.body.textContent;"]; } - (void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView { // Do Nothing } @end </code></pre>
