Customize iOS UITextView text

In my iOS application i have an UITextView in which i insert some text downloaded from the web. This text is not editable/selectable by the user and it's a sort of preview of the whole text downloaded. So, i want to show only the first two line of the text and i want to have always a vertical centered alignment. The text can also have only one line and, if there are more than two lines or there is a very long line i want to put these ".." at the end of the visible text. I want something like this:

enter image description here

I hope i explained myself.

If it is only a preview of the entire text, you can use a UILabel instead. The UILabel will have a fixed size and it will automatically truncate the text at the end and add the "..." you want. Don't forget to specify the numberOfLines property of UILabel to be 2 and the textAlignment property to NSTextAlignmentCenter if you want it centered.
