ReCollect.TextUtils

This library provides HTML parsing for both Android and iOS in Xamarin Applications. The HTML is parsed using the Html Agility Pack, and then emitted as rich-text for use within a mobile application. This operation can be done by instanciating a ReText object and passing it HTML.

On Android, the rich-text is emitted as a SpannableString that can be set on a TextView. Whereas, on iOS, rich-text is emitted as a NSMutableAttributedString, which can then be set on a ReLabel (a subclass of UILabel).

This package includes a library for each platform as well as a test application for demonstration purposes.
