## Discussion

Discussion Attachments created with this method automatically adapt to the surrounding font and color attributes in attributed strings. For example, the following code creates a text attachment from the UIImage class using an SF symbol in a blue headline style and embeds it at the end of the NSMutableAttributedString class: let content = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Open ") guard let lockImage = UIImage(systemName: "lock") else {     return } let attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key: Any] = [     .foregroundColor: UIColor.blue,     .font: UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .headline) ] let lockSymbol = NSMutableAttributedString(     attachment: NSTextAttachment(image: lockImage) ) lockSymbol.addAttributes(attributes,                           range: NSRange(location: 0, length: 1)) content.insert(lockSymbol, at: 5)
