Remarks

iOS 7 introduced "Text Kit," a broad set of APIs and modifications of existing classes, built on N:CoreText, that greatly expands the typographical flexibility of iOS.

An NSTextStorage object holds the text that is to be displayed. As with NSMutableAttributedString, application developers can manipulate text styles using AddAttribute(NSString, NSObject, NSRange) or M:Foundation.NSMutableAttributedString.AddAttributes*. The key addition to NSTextStorage is that it maintains references to one or more NSLayoutManagers (LayoutManagers) , which are responsible for converting text characters into glyphs and laying them out in accordance with the NSLayoutManagers' associated UITextView and NSTextContainer objects.

If you subclass NSTextStorage, you must override four methods. Two from NSAttributedString (LowLevelValue and LowLevelGetAttributes(nint, NSRange)) and two from NSMutableAttributedString (LowLevelSetAttributes(IntPtr, NSRange) and Replace(NSRange, String)).

The reason why you must override the low-level methods is because NSTextStorage is a very chatty interface that likes to call those methods up to thousands of times for each character that the user enters. So it important to use the low-level interface. You can review some of Xamarin's samples to see how to implement those if you have questions on how to do this.
