line-spacing within a cell - multiplelines

[Leon112]

Hello, I've searched every where to see if i can add some spacing between multiple lines within a cell, i found some old posts that said its a property of a font, i looked up apples documentation but wasn't sure if i am using the right term.

is there a way to add some spacing between the lines??

below is my code.

Thanks in advance.

- (void)configureCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    
    NSManagedObject *managedObject = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];
	
	cell.textLabel.text = [[managedObject valueForKey:@"text"] description];
	[cell.textLabel sizeToFit]; 

	cell.textLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
	
	
	cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:FONT_SIZE];

    
}

What exactly are you trying to do... are you trying to wrap text of arbitrary length? Or are you trying to just put multiple fixed length lines in a table view cell?

If it's the latter, just make your own custom cell with multiple UILabels placed however you'd like. If it's the former, well, I'd still make a custom cell, and put a UITextView in it.

the text is wrapped fine on multiple lines, but it doesnt look good.. all am trying to do is add a little bit of space between the lines within the cell...
to make it crystal clear.. i want to do something like this

It looks like if you want that sort of control, you would need to look into Core Text (or an even lower level, if you need to run on older iPhone OS releases). But that sounds like a whole lot of effort just to tweak some formatting in a table cell...

it sounds small... but when you have a long paragraph with a big font size.. becomes annoying and too close to each other... is it that difficult? has any one done it before? any other alternatives?

many thanks in advance.
