Is it possible to convert a NSString to html and set as a label?
The code below shows the NSString I want to set finalPrice as bold text and finalStr&shipping string as normal text
NSString *myText = [NSString
stringWithFormat:
#"%#\nFinal price including $%.2f Shipping and all discount: <b>$%.2f</b>",
finalStr,shipping,finalPrice];
lbl.text = myText;
I want to set multiple color and multiple text type into same dyanamic label.

Answer 1

use following label for bold effects. Or you can get code from that class.
DAAttributedStringUtils
and also see this
Different Label
Edit
NSString *myText = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#\nFinal price including $%.2f Shipping and all discount: %%B$%.2f%%b",finalStr,shipping,finalPrice];
DAAttributedLabel* lbl = [[DAAttributedLabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(30.0f, 30.0f, 260.0f, 24.0f)];
lbl.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.9f green:0.9f blue:1.0f alpha:1.0f];
lbl.text = (id)[formatter formatString:myText];
[self.view addSubview:lbl];

Answer 2

Try using NSAttributedString
There are already several questions around this here like
How do you use NSAttributedString?
NSString * textString = #"Hello Bold";
NSInteger _stringLength = [textString length];
NSMutableAttributedString * attString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:textString];
[attString addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:14.0f]; range:NSMakeRange(0, _stringLength)];
[attString addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica-Bold" size:14.0f]; range:NSMakeRange(6, 4)];
myLabel.attributedText = attString;
(code not tested)
Edit:
label.attributedText is only available for iOS 6.0+

FYI, the answer above suggesting the use of DAAttributedStringUtils and DAAttributedLabel didn't mention that these are convenience classes for the use of NSAttributedString. They make formatting NSAttributedString instances a little easier. As an example, here's how to do the same formatting described about by HAS using DAAttributedStringUtils:
float finalPrice = 34.99, shipping = 4.99;
// Setup the formatter
DAAttributedStringFormatter* formatter = [[DAAttributedStringFormatter alloc] init];
formatter.defaultFontFamily = #"Georgia";
formatter.defaultFontSize = 12.0f;
formatter.colors = #[ [UIColor blackColor], [UIColor redColor] ];
NSAttributedString* attrStr = [formatter formatString:#"%0C%0FRed Courier Text %1C%1FBlue Arial Text %0CRed Arial Text"];
// setup base strings
NSString *finalStr = #"Some Text. ";
NSString *shippingAttributed = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%%B%%1C$%.2f%%b%%c", shipping];
NSString *middleText0 = #"Final price including ";
NSString *middleText1 = #" Shipping and all discount: ";
NSString *finalPriceAttributed = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%%B%%1C$%.2f%%b%%c", finalPrice];
// Format the strings
self.label.attributedText = [formatter formatString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#%%B%%1C%#%%b%%c%#%%B%%1C%#", finalStr, shippingAttributed, middleText0, middleText1, finalPriceAttributed];
Somewhat less code, and I think easier to understand. FYI, the formatter string in the last line contains codes that are used to modify the format of portions of the string. Those codes use double percents (
