The best example to explain my situation is to use a blog post. Let's say I have a UITableView loaded with title's of blog posts that I got from an API. When I click on a row I want to show the detailed blog post.
When doing that, the API is handing back several fields, including the "post body" (which is HTML text). My question is, what should I use to display it so it shows up as formatted HTML? Should I use a UIWebView for that? I'm not sure if you use a UIWebView when you are literally viewing a web page (like initialize it with a URL or something) or if you can hand it an HTML string and it will format it properly.
There are several other fields that will be showing on this page, such as title, category, author, etc. I'm just using UILabels for those, so no problems there. But I don't know what to do with the HTML chunk. I'm doing all of this programmatically, btw.
If you can't tell, I'm relatively new to iOS development, only about 2-3 weeks in, with NO obj-c background. So if a UIWebView is the right approach, I'd also appreciate any "gotcha!" notes, if there are any.
