Embedding Image and UILable in UIWebView

I am receiving an image, title and description from a json file and i need to display this on a view. I am using webview because the description attribute has links and is in html format so webview is easiest. However now i need to add the image and title above the description. I know how i can add an image seperately but i dont know how i can add all these three components in the webview. Any help? Thank you

NSString * myHTMLImage = @"<img src='Hop.png'>";
NSString *imagePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:imagePath];
[self.webView loadHTMLString:myHTMLImage baseURL:baseURL];

The above code embeds an image to the entire webview. 

[self.webView loadHTMLString:bodyOfText baseURL:nil];

I need to be able to do the above loading of bodyOfText as wel. and a title too. which is a string. How do i do it.

You just build up your HTML string. You could do something like:

NSString *title      = @"this is my title";
NSString *body       = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Blah, blah, blah<p>%@<p>", self.bodyOfText.text];
NSString *bundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSString *imgPath    = [bundlePath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Hop.png"];
NSURL    *imgUrl     = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:imgPath];

NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:
                  @"<html>"
                  "<header>"
                  "<title>%@</title>"
                  "</header>"
                  "<body>"
                  "%@"
                  "<img src=\"%@\">"
                  "</body>"
                  "</html>",
                  title, body, [imgUrl absoluteString]];

[self.webView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];

I usually build my references to images right in the src tag, that way I can easily refer to both images in my bundle as well as images in my Documents folder in the same HTML string.

You could add these programmatically as UILabel subviews, or through the storyboard by dragging out a label and hooking them up as IBOutlets.
