How to display rtf in Windows Phone 8.1?

Question

I am working on a News Application on WP8.1 and news body text is formatted as rtf. And below is a sample body text of a news item. But I cannot display body text as formatted before in Windows Phone.

{\\rtf1\\fbidis\\ansi\\ansicpg1252\\deff0\\deflang1033{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fswiss\\fprq2\\fcharset0 Arial;}{\\f1\\fnil\\fcharset0 Microsoft Sans Serif;}} {\\colortbl ;\\red0\\green0\\blue0;\\red255\\green0\\blue0;\\red255\\green255\\blue0;} \\viewkind4\\uc1\\pard\\ltrpar\\sl276\\slmult1\\cf1\\highlight2\\lang2055\\ul\\b\\f0\\fs20 Test for \\highlight3 RTF\\highlight0 RTF TEST TETST \\par \\highlight3 www.google.com\\highlight0\\par \\pard\\ltrpar\\cf0\\lang1033\\ulnone\\b0\\f1\\fs17\\par }

A Windows Phone Runtime app can display RTF in a RichEditBox :

RichEditBox1. Document . SetText ( TextSetOptions .FormatRTF,rtfString);

See Quickstart: Adding text input and editing controls and the XAML text editing sample for more info.

There isn't an in-box RTF control for Silverlight apps, but for simple RTF you can parse it yourself and then load the blocks into a RichTextBox .
