Format part of text in Custom Cell (iPhone-SDK) - iphone

Is it possible to format only a part of the text of a string?
User searches, and if the search entry is found in the array, it will highlight that particular part of the text only.
TIA.

Not in a standard UILabel, it isn't. You could draw the cell's contents yourself in its -drawRect: method, and draw the string in parts with different attributes. Or you could use one of the several third-party label classes out there that allow this. (For example, Three20's TTStyledLabel.)

Added custom styles(style_formats) to tinyMCE. Classes are appended and not replaced as intended

Followed several tutorials and have added custom classes in the formats section of the tinyMCE. The classes used are being appended and not replaced as I had intended. Is there a way to have them overwrite the existing style if there is one instead of adding to the class tag?
My use case is this: The user select a piece of text and select a class from the formats dropdown I have added. They dont like the color of the link and decide to change it by going back up to the formats tab and selecting a different value. Behind the scenes, TinyMCe replaces the class. I realize I could use the styles key in the json array, but that would produce inline-styles, which I'd like to avoid.
Thanks!
Maybe use exact: true for your style?

fixed the issue by using inline css rather than using the classes

iTextSharp 7 wrapping and no wrapping

Is it possible to manage wrapping of text?
I have a long string, longer than a cell, in a paragraph. If it is in form "ABCDEFGHIJKLMN", will be displayed on a line (row) of text. But if it is in "ABC DEFGH IJKLM" form, it is wrapped in two lines. How could be forced to stay on one line?
In a comment the OP clarified
I would like the cell to expand. Anyway, the no wrapping idea comes out of many pages on the Internet saying it wouldn't wrap if no wrapping spaces are used. I don't know if it did, it doesn't do this anymore ...
The iText 7 Table with its default TableRenderer renderer class only supports fixed column widths which can be given by
a fixed table width and a single integer, the number of columns,
a fixed table width and an array of relative column widths, or
an array of absolute column widths.
Thus, what those many pages on the Internet say, does not seem possible.
That been said, the iText 7 architecture allows to set a custom next renderer. Thus, it might be possible to introduce a certain amount of dynamic behavior, in particular some automatic cell resizing, if you implement a table renderer to do so.
Such a custom renderer is likely to run into problems, though, whenever code makes use of the ILargeElement interface Table implements because then the first cells will have to be layout'ed before all cell contents are known.

Difference between Text and ChangeableText

What is the difference between Text and ChangeableText in andengine. Since there is no andengine manual i couldnt find the information anywhere
If you a referring to the examples there is no difference, both the TextExample and ChangeableTextExample both derive from the Class Text.
All the ChangeableTextExample is showing is how to change the contents contained with your string.

GWT(CellTable):can i add 3 anchors in a cell

is it possible to add 3 anchors/ links in one cell of GWT celltable
like this
add/delete/copy
these are 3 anchors in one cell with different click handlers for all three of them ..
Thanks
What you are looking for is the CompositeCell.
The idea will be for you to create 3 separate Column (or lightweight HasCell impementations using ActionCell.Delegate for example) objects for your actions and instead of adding them to the table one by one you would add them as part of the CompositeCell.
It may seem a little counterintuitive to add HasCell implementations into an actual cell, but here is an example, from another Stackoverflow question: Does anyone have a working examples of ActionCells working within a CompositeCell?
You can't use Anchors because you can't use any widgets. However, you can render three different <a> elements and then override onBrowserEvent to catch clicks on them.
It may be simpler to use three separate columns and use a ClickableTextCell or something similar for each one.

How to mimic a standard html text rendering on iphone?

I have a view with two UITextView elements in it, each of which is tied to an outlet in the controller. The content for these is coming from a database, and is sometimes short an other times long. I want it to look like it would in html, with <p>content1</p><p>content2</p>, such that the distances from the end of content1 to beginning of content2 is fixed, but content2 gets shifted down the page if content1 is long.
Seems like a very basic requirement but I can't quite figure out how to do it with Interface Builder. Would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Interface builder doesn't support specifying relationships between sibling elements; the Cocoa layout engine does everything relative to the containing view.
I'd recommend creating a single UITextView that contains both paragraphs, inserting a single empty line between them. Keep each paragraph in its own instance variable, though, and when either one is updated, update the display as well, reconstructing the combined text from the two separate paragraphs.
You can use the textview's contentSize property to align them relative to each other. This property always reflects the size of the actual laid out text content.
