NSTextHighlightStyleAttributeName

An attribute that adds a highlight color to the text to emphasize it.

Declaration

extern NSAttributedStringKey const NSTextHighlightStyleAttributeName;

Overview

The value of this attribute is an NSTextHighlightStyle structure. The default value of this attribute is nil, which does not add a highlight to the text.

A highlight adds a background color behind the text, and adjusts the color of the text itself to contrast appropriately. The NSTextHighlightStyleDefault highlight style applies the system highlight color to your text. To apply a different color, add the NSTextHighlightColorSchemeAttributeName attribute to your text in addition to this one. Use the NSTextHighlightColorSchemeAttributeName key to specify which highlight color you want.
