StylizedLabel (Viola!)

I got tired of browsing the web for a solution to stylized UILabels and decided to take matters into my own hands. For the record, Three20 is pretty robust but I didn't want to import his entire project just for one control, on top of the fact that it wasn't compiling under 2.2.1. So I created my own solution. Which is great because it's lightweight for what I want done. This isn't a perfect solution to the problem, but it's pretty damn near good enough.

Markup on the text looks like this, "<color ="0000FF">Blue</color> <bold>Bold</bold> and <italic>Italic</italic>!"

The markup is simple and descriptive. Feel free to modify my code.

It's also fast. 100 cells in a iTouch was very smooth.
