UWP-RichTextControls

A set of controls for displaying text formats like HTML on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP). Originally ported from the Disqus app for Windows.

Controls

HtmlTextBlock

A control for displaying basic HTML as a native UI.

Basic Usage

Add a reference to the RichTextControls namespace in your XAML file.

xmlns:richText="using:RichTextControls"

Now you can use the control in your xaml

<richText:HtmlTextBlock Html="<p>My <b>HTML</b> test</p>" />

Limitations

This control was designed for simple HTML markup only (often returned as fragments from a web service), and won't evaluate any kind of styling. Complex HTML documents are better handled using a WebView.

CodeHighlightedTextBlock

A control for displaying code with basic syntax highlighting.

Basic Usage

Add a reference to the RichTextControls namespace in your XAML file.

xmlns:richText="using:RichTextControls"

Now you can use the control in your xaml

<richText:CodeHighlightedTextBlock HighlightLanguage="CSharp" Code="Console.WriteLine(999);"  />
