Yes, many people are saying about Rich Text in iPhone/iPad and many knows about NSAttributedString.

But how to use NSAttributedString? I searched for much time, no extract clues for this.

I know how to set up a NSAttributedString, then what should I do to display a text on iPhone/iPad with rich text?

The official docs says it should be used with CoreText.Framework, what does that mean?

Is there any simple way like this?

NSAttributedString *str;
.....
UILabel *label;
label.attributedString = str;

Almost. Just use a CATextLayer. It has a string property that you can set to an NSAttributedString.

EDIT (November, 2012): Of course all this has changed in iOS 6. In iOS 6, you can do exactly what the OP asked for - assign an attributed string directly to a label's attributedText.
