For your purposes, the key point is that NSTextStorage is a subclass of NSMutableAttributedString, which is in turn a subclass of NSAttributedString. You should be looking at methods like NSMutableAttributedString's -setAttributes:range:. Basically, you start by creating a dictionary of formatting attributes, then you provide it to -setAttributes:range: with the range of characters to which you want those attributes applied. That's why they're called "attributed" strings -- they are strings with formatting attributes.
Look at the introduction to the NSAttributedString technical reference document, the NSAttributedString AppKit Additions reference document, Text Attribute Programming Topics, and the Attributed String Programming Guide. The "Paragraph Attributes" section of the Text Attribute Programming Topics is especially pertinent to your question, including its cross reference to the much more detailed Ruler and Paragraph Style Programming Topics.
