AnnotatedString.Companion

val Saver: Saver<AnnotatedString, *>

The default Saver implementation for AnnotatedString.

Note this Saver doesn't preserve the LinkInteractionListener of the links. You should handle this case manually if required (check https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/332901550 for an example).

fun AnnotatedString.Companion.fromHtml(
    htmlString: String,
    linkStyle: SpanStyle? = SpanStyle(textDecoration = TextDecoration.Underline),
    linkFocusedStyle: SpanStyle? = null,
    linkHoveredStyle: SpanStyle? = null,
    linkPressedStyle: SpanStyle? = null,
    linkInteractionListener: LinkInteractionListener? = null
): AnnotatedString

Converts a string with HTML tags into AnnotatedString.

If you define your string in the resources, make sure to use HTML-escaped opening brackets "<" instead of "<".

For a list of supported tags go check Styling with HTML markup guide. Note that bullet lists are not yet available.

import androidx.compose.ui.text.fromHtml

// First, download a string as a plain text using one of the resources' methods. At this stage
// you will be handling plurals and formatted strings in needed. Moreover, the string will be
// resolved with respect to the current locale and available translations.
val string = stringResource(id = R.string.example)

// Next, convert a string marked with HTML tags into AnnotatedString to be displayed by Text
val styledAnnotatedString = AnnotatedString.fromHtml(htmlString = string)
