Cocoa Obj-C WebView how to display HTML string

I have a string of HTML that was parsed by libxml2.dylib that looks like:

Hello,<br />\n<br />\nThis is almost HTML.<br />\n<br />\n

I've unsuccessfully tried to display certain strings parsed from the XML in a WebView; I'm hoping there's a simple way to do it such as how an HTML page is displayed in my Cocoa application:

HTMLView.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#import <WebKit/WebKit.h>

@interface htmlView : NSObject {

    IBOutlet WebView * webview;
}

-(IBAction) showHTML:(id) sender;

@end

HTMLView.m

#import "HTMLView.h"

@implementation htmlView

-(IBAction) showHTML:(id) sender

{
    [[webview mainFrame] loadRequest:
     [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:
      [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.example.com"]]];

 NSString * string = @"<br>test</br>";

[self loadHTMLString:string baseURL:(NSURL *)baseURL];

}
-(void)loadHTMLString:(NSString *)string baseURL:(NSURL *)baseURL {

}

@end

How did you try to display the strings and what was the problem? I think 

-(void)loadHTMLString:(NSString *)string baseURL:(NSURL *)baseURL

Might be what you need...!?

Edit: You have to call the method on your webview! What you did now is implementing your own loadHTMLString method in your viewController. Which would be fine if it did anything and did call loadHTMLString on the webview at some point. 

[self.webView loadHTMLString....]

I think you have to familiarise yourself a bit more with objective-c.
