Formatting text from Server

I need to have text read from Firebase on a Swift3 iOS App with special format.

I want to be able to make something like this attached image.

How should I Write my text on Firebase Database, and how can I interpret it to give it colors, Bolds, Bullet Points, Etc? Like if i was HTML content or rich text.

enter image description here

Thanks!

You use HTML tags to format your text and write it in Firebase.

Your text will be something like this:

<h1 style="color:blue;">Your Title</h1>
<p>
    My super description/text
</p>

Then write this example in your Firebase.

Now display you HTML content (Swit 2.0):

let myHtmlStringContent = "" // Your HTML content from Firebase
var attrStr = try! NSAttributedString(data: myHtmlStringContent.dataUsingEncoding(NSUnicodeStringEncoding, allowLossyConversion: true)!,
options: [ NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType], documentAttributes: nil)
label.attributedText = attrStr // Your IBOutlet
