Hello, Is there any way to mark a specific portion of text as a link for example, without any "clues" in the text itself?
I get a server response which exactly tells me where specific things are and I used NSAttributedString for that before, since I can just specify the range that I got from the server and display that part of the text as e.g. a hyperlink. Somehow, the combination of UILabel.attributedText and ActiveLabel doesn't seem to work together (the attributes set on the NSAttributedString are ignored).

I would love a method like addURL(from: Int, to: Int) / addMention(from: Int, to: Int) etc.

I'm now using the "regex" thing and defining the complete string that I want to highlight as the regex 😅
Not very elegant and error-prone in case that character sequence appears another time somewhere else...
