How to display HTML content in UILabel Swift 3

First we take a HTML string as input and then process this string to generate an Attributed String which can be set to the UILabel.  Below are the steps in the process:

• Data is taken from the string using the unicode encoding.

let data = string.data(using: String.Encoding.unicode, allowLossyConversion: true)

• Using the NSHTMLTextDocumentType, an NSAttributedString is generated.

if let d = data {
    let str = try NSAttributedString(data: d,
        options: [NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType],
        documentAttributes: nil)
    return str
}

• This string can be set to the UILabel to display HTML formatted text.

myLabel.attributedText = str

Have a look at the complete function below:

private func stringFromHtml(string: String) -> NSAttributedString? {
    do {
        let data = string.data(using: String.Encoding.unicode, allowLossyConversion: true)
        if let d = data {
            let str = try NSAttributedString(data: d,
               options: [NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType],
               documentAttributes: nil)
            return str
        }
    } catch {
        print ("Failed to get HTML from string")
    }
    return nil
}

This function has been written in Swift 3.
