如何将简单格式应用于TextBlock中的文本？

Question

In my application I need to view chat with smiles and simple formatting (bold, italic, underline and links) by parsing BB codes in message text. I am using the LongListSelector and TextBlock for chat viewing. On Android I make formatting with HTML tags like a <img> , <a> , <b> , <i> and <u> . But TextBlock doesn't support HTML. How to make formatting and smiles on Windows Phone 8?

Answer 1

This works for Windows Phone Silverlight 7.5/8/8.1, but not for WinRT style WP8.1 apps.

<TextBlock FontFamily="Verdana" Foreground="White">
  <Run Text="Bold " FontWeight="Bold"/>
  <Run Text="Italic " FontStyle="Italic"/>
  <Run Text="Underline " TextDecorations="Underline"/>
</TextBlock>

Displaying image and hyperlink is more complex. You can't (to my knowledge) insert image or use events inside TextBlock . Most likely you need to make separate TextBlock for links which uses Tap event to launch navigation.
