Here is a quick demo video of Label Maker™ in action. Label Maker™ is a tool that was introduced in version 1.4 of Visual Attributed String. When you generate attributed string code, you can see a checkbox that says "embed in label" in the user interface of Visual Attributed String. When you select that checkbox, you are able to automatically generate code that creates a NSTextField for OS X apps and a UILabel for iOS apps.

What's New in Visual Attributed String Version 1.4.1? Label Maker™ Preferences!
Visual Attributed String version 1.4.1 has been released on the Mac App Store! In this update, I have added a preferences window. You can now adjust the following preferences when embedding an attributed string in a label:
*Add commented out position code (by default this is on, you can turn this off in preferences). *Assume View Controller's view as superview (by default this is on, you can turn this off in preferences).
The version 1.4.1 update has also added a preference allowing you to automatically show the welcome window on application launch (by default this preference is on).

Visual Attributed String Version 1.4 Released! What's New? Label Maker™!
Today Visual Attributed String version 1.4 was released on the Mac App Store. What's new? Label Maker™! Label Maker™ is a great new tool built in to Visual Attributed String. Now when you generate attributed string code, you will see a checkbox that says "embed in label" in the user interface, as seen in the screenshot below:
When you mark the checkbox, you can now have Visual Attributed String generate the code to use the attributed string in a label (hence the name, Label Maker™). Of course, code to create a UILabel will be generated for iOS and for OS X it will generate code for a NSTextField.
More features are coming so stay tuned! If you haven't purchased Visual Attributed String yet you can get it now on the Mac App Store here.
