So, for instance, I want to convert "-->" to "-->"
No need for an attributed string.
Thanks, but I understand the difference perfectly, but it's
irrelevant. HTML entities are HTML too, so this worked fine:
NSMutableAttributedString * aStr = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]
initWithHTML:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"file:///Users/me/test.html
"]] documentAttributes:nil];
[textView replaceCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(0, [[textView string]
length]) withString:[aStr string]];
... with an HTML file containing the entity > (NSData from local
file for convenient illustrative purposes) but your method is probably
more direct / efficient. I referenced the above because you said, "I
can't seem to find an NSString method to do so (not that I sometimes
don't easily miss the obvious)."
It's not strictly NSString, but might have worked fine for you.
