Hi,
In my program I require an NSAttributedString that can not only contain styles such as bold, italic etc.. , but contain 'named styles' much like Quark Xpress or MS Word would have.

I assume I can use the addAttribute:withRange to set where my 'named styles' are,

Absolutely -- except you probably want to use an NSTextStorage, which is a subclass of NSMutableAttributedString.

but how would I make the NSAttributedString lookup what these styles meant, and render itself accordingly? Is this possible, or do I need to make my own attributedstring class?

Hopefully John Randolph will chime in on this one, but I suspect you would need to subclass NSLayoutManager. I don't even want to guess how.
