Custom heightForRowAtIndexPath (CGSize sizeWithFont) with NSAttributedString iOS - ios6

Question

I have a table view where my cells height is defined dynamically depending on the text it is representing.
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//getting my text for this cell, the row etc ...
...
//here is the part interesting us
NSAttributedString* theText = [myTextForThisCell objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSInteger labelWidth = self.tableView.bounds.size.width-HORIZONTAL_CELL_PADDING;
CGSize textSize = [theText sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:customFontSize] constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(labelWidth, MAXFLOAT) lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
return textSize.height+VERTICAL_CELL_PADDING;
}
Ok so now my problem.
The tableview is the result of a search action which after scanning a plist file shows the lines containing a given string.
Up to now that was it. But now with iOS 6 and NSAttributedString allowing easily to bold part of strings I decided to bold the search word.
It is working, it bolds the words I want but now I am no more able to calculate the cell height as sizeWithFont ask for a NSString. And as bolding takes a wider width I cannot simply calculate the cell height with the string without attributes.
I am simply stuck here.
Anyone can help me ?

Answer 1

In fact I simply had to read apple documentation of NSAttributedText.
In my case I have to replace the last two lines of code by
CGRect rectSize = [theText boundingRectWithSize:CGSizeMake(labelWidth, MAXFLOAT)
options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin context:NULL];
return rectSize.size.height+VERTICAL_CELL_PADDING;
FOLLOW UP iOS 7
I have been struggling making this work in iOS7 with attributed text.
Apple documentation says
In iOS 7 and later, this method returns fractional sizes (in the size
component of the returned CGRect); to use a returned size to size
views, you must use raise its value to the nearest higher integer
using the ceil function.
Which way obviously not working for me ! For me the solution was to add +1 to the ceil of height. This is probably a bug from Apple, but for me now everything works as in iOS6.
CGRect rectSize = [theAttributedText boundingRectWithSize:CGSizeMake(labelWidth, MAXFLOAT)
options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin context:NULL];
return ceil(rectSize.size.height) + 1 + VERTICAL_CELL_PADDING;
