ZSSRichTextEditor is a beautiful Rich Text WYSIWYG Editor for iOS. It includes all of the standard editor tools one would expect from a WYSIWYG editor as well as an amazing source view with syntax highlighting.

The editor is used how any other text input area in iOS is used. A selection of text or content is made, then tapping on the toolbar item below will apply that style. A Source View is also included, you can make changes and this will be reflected in the editor preview.

We wanted to have a really beautiful color picker to make changing colors really simple. So, we used the open-source HRColorPicker which was exactly what we were looking for. Choosing colors for text or background is simple and seamless.

Just subclass ZSSRichTextEditor and use the following:

// HTML Content to set in the editor
NSString *html = @"<!-- This is an HTML comment -->"
"<p>This is a test of the <strong>ZSSRichTextEditor</strong> by <a title=\"Zed Said\" href=\"http://www.zedsaid.com\">Zed Said Studio</a></p>";

// Set the base URL if you would like to use relative links, such as to images.
self.baseURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.zedsaid.com"];

// If you want to pretty print HTML within the source view.
self.formatHTML = YES;

// set the initial HTML for the editor
[self setHtml:html];
