Re: How do I display RTF Data?

Because I often search the list archives for my information as some 
one else might. And because some one else might want to know the 
answer to my question as i found it. I will post the link I used and 
how I managed to solve this issue.

http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/FancyAbout/listing7.html

That is a link to some sample code that showed me how to read an rtf 
file and then display it correctly in a text view.

Basically I read the file in to an NSData object, initialized an 
NSAttributedString with that NSData object [[NSAttributedString alloc]
initWithRTF:myObject documentAttributes:NULL] and then used 
[[textView textStorage] setAttribtedString:myAtribString] to display 
the data.

Looking back on it now the answer was simple but with a huge update 
to the project I was working on this simple answer did not seem so at 
the time.
