Question 1

How do I add Aztec editor to my Xcode project?

Accepted Answer

You can integrate Aztec via Carthage, CocoaPods, or Swift Package Manager. For SPM, use the repo URL in Xcode or add it to your Package.swift file, but note that SPM support is only available from version 1.20.0.

Question 2

Aztec vs webview-based HTML editors for iOS

Accepted Answer

Aztec uses native UITextView for better performance and iOS integration, avoiding webview overhead. However, it may lack some web-based features like full CSS support, and setup is more involved compared to embedding a web view.

Question 3

Can Aztec handle complex HTML like tables or embedded media?

Accepted Answer

Aztec is designed for HTML editing, but complex elements might require customization. The README focuses on basic usage, so for advanced features, you may need to explore the source code or contribute to the project.

Question 4

Is Aztec suitable for non-WordPress apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Aztec can handle raw HTML without the WordPressEditor plugin, making it usable for general rich text editing. However, some features are optimized for WordPress, so you might need additional work for other use cases.

Question 5

How to customize the appearance of Aztec text view?

Accepted Answer

Customization involves modifying the Aztec.TextView instance with default fonts and styles, as shown in the usage example. Since it's a native component, you can use standard iOS UI techniques, but there's no built-in theme system.

Question 6

What are the licensing terms for Aztec?

Accepted Answer

Aztec is open-source under the Mozilla Public License Version 2.0, allowing use in proprietary projects. However, if you distribute modified versions, you must disclose the changes under the same license.
