Below solutions works for me, - (NSString *)convertUnderlineTextToHTML:(NSAttributedString *)_mString { NSArray * exclude = NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"doctype", @"html", @"head", @"body",@"xml",nil; NSDictionary * htmlAtt = NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:NSHTMLTextDocumentType,NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute,exclude,NSExcludedElementsDocumentAttribute,nil; NSError * error; NSData * htmlData = _mString dataFromRange:NSMakeRange(0, _mString length) documentAttributes:htmlAtt error:&error; NSString * sdat = NSString alloc initWithData:htmlData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding; NSLog(sdat); return sdat; } Where _mString is NSMutableAttributedString *pAttributedString = pInputText textStorage; NSString *pHtml = self convertUnderlineTextToHTML:pAttributedString; Regards Rohan.

NSTextView inherits from NSText, which has a -string method. So pInputText string should do what you want. Alternately, TextStorage is a subclass of NSMutableAttributedString, so if you want an attributed string you can just use the return of pInputText textStorage directly.

Thanks Smorgan, I will check and let you know – Rohan Mar 25 '11 at 4:45.

Since NSTextStorage is a subclass of NSMutableAttributedString which has a method through its superclass NSAttributedString :initWithHTML:baseURL:documentAttributes, you can use this to get what you want. DocumentAttributes can be NULL.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
