Facebook iOS app Newsfeed UITableViewCell, how did they implemented it?

I need to implement newsfeed UITableView list (like in facebook app), and I wonder which UIKit components I should use.

Do you know how (short overview) facebook iOS app implemented it?
Should I use UIWebView? or
Should I use third party UILabel library that supports HTML tags?

Any ideas?
Thanks!

This article written by the person responsible for Facebook iOS app says they use the CoreText framework to style the text.

They stopped using HTML5 for the native iOS app last August, so I doubt that the UITableViewCells are using UIWebViews which is quite slow.
