how to set attributes in NSAttributedString in iOS?

I have the following code:

 comment = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:self.highlightItem_.comment];
            [comment addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont fontWithName:kProximaNovaBold size:15] range:nameRange];
            [comment addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor colorWithRed:128/255.f green:203/255.f blue:255/255.f alpha:1.0] range:nameRange];

            [comment addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont fontWithName:kProximaNova size:15] range:commentRange];
            [comment addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor colorWithWhite:153/255.f alpha:1.0] range:commentRange];

This is however an iOS 6 code, what if I want to do the same in iOS 5. Do I have to use a third party library for this?

To support ios 5 and lower, use [OHAttributedLabel][1]. [1]: https://github.com/AliSoftware/OHAttributedLabel — KingofBliss, Jan 22 '13 at 09:40

You could drop down into Core Text for iOS 5. Core Text is more powerful than NSAttributedString but it's also less documented and less accessible to engineers.
