add html text to label in titanium

I have an html text that has some html tags.
My Question :
How can I add that text into a label without those tags but keeping the text alignment?
For example :
if I have an "< /br>" as tag I need the same effect in the text added to the label but without the "< /br>" appearing in the text.
How can I make that?

Couple solutions, if it is only about spacing (<br>) you could actually just replace the <br> with \n with regular expressions for example.
If it is more complicated (bold, italic, underlined, links) you can use Attributed Strings. If it is much more complicated than the supported types in Attributed strings you can use a webview, or StyledLabel.

In Android you can apply
Html.fromHtml("Html text")
i hope this could be help you.

Jquery get and set css attribute of some part of html string

I'm writing an html editor control.
I want to change css attributes of selected text of the content.
I get the selectedcontent by window.getSelection();
What is the best way to make bold selected text, and to understand selected text is bold then to make it normal.
Replace with required tags doesn't work. Since similar texts can be in content.
It looks quite complicated to me.
I'm looking for the best practise to do it.

Try this sample snippet
You can make bold as selected text via "document.execCommand('bold');"
Html
<div contenteditable="true" class="textEditor">Text1.
Text2.
Text3.
Text4.
Hi, this is text of some kind
Lorem ipsum...
</div>
Jquery
Catch selection change event by jquery-selectionchange event.
Make bold and normal by document.execCommand('bold');
$(document).on('selectionchange', function(e) {
document.execCommand('bold');
});

update text on a textarea as user types, based on the syntax?

For example I have a textarea and I'm typing this:
<b>Bolded</b> and <i>italic</i> and <b><i>bold+italic</i></b>
as I am typing this to my textarea, the text will become bolded or italic like this:
Bolded and italic and bold+italic
Note that it does not have to be <b> or <i>, it could be **text** and it becomes text, I have no problem on creating the custom syntax, I just need to know if it is possible to update it live in js or jquery?
I was thinking of using (this is in CoffeeScript):
$('div#mdEditor').on 'change', ->
# but no idea how to continue?
UPDATE
It does not have to be textarea though, I am using a contenteditable div so I can parse it on live if needed, again, I have no idea how.

Goal: When we paste content in editor allow only <p>, <b>, <a>, and <i> tags only

html, css, javascript with textarea

I need to make a text editor for my site. Here are a few questions that I have:
How can I retrieve the row selected in the text area using JavaScript?
How can I style the first line of the text without styling all rows the same?
Here is an example of what I need:
<textarea>
<span class='center_align'>Hello world</span>
<span class='left_align'>This is a nice paragraph aligned to the left.</span>
</textarea>
I know <textarea> reads HTML into its input, but how would I go about to style this?

Sounds like you need a Rich Text Editor: try TinyMCE (as used by WordPress): http://www.tinymce.com/

Wrap highlighted text within textarea with strong tags using javascript/jquery

I am looking to create a javascript/jquery function to wrap a piece of highlighted text from a textarea in strong tags - similar to the WYSIWYG editor here.
Is this possible and if so can you point me in the right direction.
EDIT:
OK so here's a hopefully clearer description of what I want...
I have a textbox on my page which I can type in.
I then want to be able to highlight a part of this text and wrap the highlighted part in <strong> tags
So if the text box had the words one two three and I highlighted the word "two", I want to be able to wrap that word in the strong tags - so becoming one <strong>two</strong> three
Hope this is clearer... I know there are plugins out there but I don't need the full WYSIWYG functionality.

My Rangy inputs (terrible name, I know) jQuery plug-in does this.
Example code:
$("#foo").surroundSelectedText("<strong>", "</strong>");
jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/aGJDa/

I love Rangy! Use it often! But I didn't want to include the whole thing just for this little application, so I did it using document.execCommand to wrap the selected text, then used the href (third parameter of the CreateLink execCommand) to find the element, wrap it with what I wanted, and then remove the link:
document.execCommand('CreateLink', false, 'uniqueid');
var sel = $('a[href="uniqueid"]');
sel.wrap('<strong />')
sel.contents().unwrap();
document.execCommand is supported by all major browsers so you should be safe hacking it this way. In the browsers I've tested, the browser itself will close and open tags for you, so if you're selecting from the middle of one html tag to the middle of another, it should nest the tags correctly.
