How to make use of a string extension

Question

I ma migrating over to Swift 2 and trying to resolve all the compile errors and have found the code the link below which is apparently the new way to process html text, but I cannot see how to use this in my functions in swift 2?

in swift 1.2 I used:

attributedText.appendAttributedString(htmlString.html2AttributedString)

and

extension String {

    var html2AttributedString:NSAttributedString {

        return NSAttributedString(data: dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!,
            options: [NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute:NSHTMLTextDocumentType,
            NSCharacterEncodingDocumentAttribute: NSUTF8StringEncoding],
            documentAttributes: nil,
            error: nil)!
    }
}

This is the new way of doing it apparently String extension
