We have a Text editor in our application which supports both Rich and Plain Text. So, we are using WebView for displaying the RichText and NSTextView for displaying the Plain Text and the content is saved in the HTML format. I am facing a problem of addition of a new Line at the end of the Text while converting from HTML.
Sample HTML: <html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;">CR1<br><div><br></div><div>CR2</div></body></html>
Below is the conversion Code From HTML to NSString
- (NSString *)convertHTMLToPlain:(NSString *)str {
NSString *finalString = nil;
NSAttributedString *attrString = nil;
NSData *theData = [str dataUsingEncoding:NSUnicodeStringEncoding];
if (nil != theData) {
NSDictionary *encodingDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@(NSUnicodeStringEncoding) forKey:@"CharacterEncoding"];
attrString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithHTML:theData documentAttributes:&encodingDict];
NSString *result = [attrString string];
NSString *specialCharecter = @"\u2028";
if ([result containsString:specialCharecter]) {
finalString = [result stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:specialCharecter
withString:@""];
} else {
finalString = result;
}
}
return finalString;
}
The result’s value is displayed below:
You could see there is no <br> tag at the end but it still adds a new line but if I open the HTML File in webView it displays correctly. Could someone tell me why is that kind of a behavior. How can I fix that?
