XNGMarkdownParser - A Markdown NSAttributedString Parser

This is a Markdown => NSAttributedString parser built on top of a flex parser. It takes an NSString and returns an NSAttributedString with markdown tags replaced by CoreText formatting attributes.

This project is a fork of NSAttributedMarkdownParser by NimbusKit: https://github.com/NimbusKit/markdown

Further text customization

// this parser initializes only once and customizes fonts, line height and link color
+ (XNGMarkdownParser *)titleMarkdownParser {
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    static XNGMarkdownParser *parser;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        parser = [[XNGMarkdownParser alloc] init];
 
        parser.paragraphFont = [UIFont xng_14Font];
        parser.boldFontName = [UIFont xng_14Font].fontName;
        parser.linkFontName = [UIFont xng_14Font].fontName;
 
        const CGFloat lineHeight = 18;
        NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
        paragraphStyle.minimumLineHeight = lineHeight;
        parser.topAttributes = @{
            NSParagraphStyleAttributeName: paragraphStyle,
            NSForegroundColorAttributeName: self.textColor
        };
    });
 
    return parser;
}
