## Declaration

```swift
convenience init(_ attrStr: AttributedString)
```

## Parameters

- `attrStr`: The value type attributed string that provides the text and attributes of the new object.

## Discussion

Discussion This initializer includes all attribute scopes defined by the SDK, such as AttributeScopes.FoundationAttributes, AttributeScopes.SwiftUIAttributes, and AttributeScopes.AccessibilityAttributes. To use third-party attribute scopes, use the initializers init(_:including:) or init(_:including:).
