title: Easiest way to style the text of an UILabel in iOS7/iOS8
body: <p>I'm learning objective c a little bit to write an iPad app. I've mostly done some html5/php projects and learned some python at university. But one thing that really blows my mind is how hard it is to just style some text in an objective C label.</p>
  
  <p>Maybe I'm coming from a lazy markdown generation, but really, if I want to let an UILabel look like:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <blockquote>
      <p><strong>Objective:</strong> Construct an <em>equilateral</em> triangle from the line segment AB. </p>
    </blockquote>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>In markdown this is as simple as:</p>
  
  <p><code>**Objective:** Construct an *equilateral* triangle from the line segment AB.
  </code></p>
  
  <p>Is there really no pain free objective C way to do this ? All the tutorials I read really wanted me to write like 15 lines of code. For something as simple as this. </p>
  
  <p>So my question is, what is the easiest way to do this, if you have a lot of styling to do in your app ? Will styling text become more natural with swift in iOS8 ?</p>
