# addRenderingAttribute(_:value:for:)

Sets the rendering attribute for the value and range you specify.

## Declaration

```swift
func addRenderingAttribute(_ renderingAttribute: NSAttributedString.Key, value: Any?, for textRange: NSTextRange)
```

## Parameters

- `renderingAttribute`: The doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSAttributedString/Key that represents the attribute.
- `value`: The value for the attribute.
- `textRange`: The range over which to apply the attribute.

## Discussion

Discussion Passing nil overrides the specified attribute by removing it from the final attributes the framework passes to the layout and rendering engine. This is a convenience method for setRenderingAttributes(_:for:).
