TextReplacements works on all major Apple platforms and is designed to be easy to use.

TextReplacements let you initialize a Text view with a string and one or multiple text replacements.
The text view in the preview above is created like this:
Text(
"TextReplacements is a SwiftUI library that extends the Text view with ways to customize any parts of its text. The result is a Text with customized segments that can flow nicely over multiple lines.",
replacements: [
"TextReplacements": {
Text($0)
.font(.title)
.fontWeight(.black)
.fontDesign(.rounded)
.foregroundColor(.green)
},
"SwiftUI": {
Text($0)
.font(.headline)
.fontWeight(.black)
.fontDesign(.rounded)
.foregroundColor(.blue)
},
"Text": {
Text($0)
.fontWeight(.black)
.fontDesign(.rounded)
.foregroundColor(.black.opacity(0.6))
},
"customize": {
Text($0)
.italic()
.underline()
.font(.body)
.fontWeight(.heavy)
.fontDesign(.monospaced)
.foregroundColor(.purple)
},
"par": {
Text($0)
.font(.headline)
.fontWeight(.black)
.fontDesign(.rounded)
.foregroundColor(.red)
},
"can flow nicely over multiple lines": {
Text($0)
.foregroundColor(.orange)
}
]
)You can perform any modification that result in new Text views. This brings some limitations, like not being able to apply a background color, but lets you highlight certain parts of a text with very little effort.
