UITableViewCell multi line section headers

Question

I would like to make the text labels in the default section headers of an UITableView (UITableViewStylePlain) to have multiple line. For the cells this can be easily achieved as described in How do I wrap text in a UITableViewCell without a custom cell. How can I do the same for the default section headers? If there is no way to do this, how can I create an header view in tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: that looks identical to the default header?

Answer 1

iOS 6 introduced a new class called UITableViewHeaderFooterView which looks just like the default header (and also has a detail text label). I've not tried it, but you might be able to use this as a customer header view and set the textLabel properties in the same way as in the link you provided.
