Question

How can escape html tags into a xaml code?

For example, if i want to show <b>text</b> in an xaml content to put into a RichTextBox as following:

    private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        string mystring = "<b>test</b>";
        MyRTB.Blocks.Add(Convert(@"<Bold>" + mystring + "</Bold>"));
    }

        static public Paragraph Convert(string text)
    {
        String formattedText = ParaHead + text + ParaTail;
        Paragraph p = (Paragraph)XamlReader.Load(formattedText);
        return p;
    }

I tried with multiple combinations of {} and {} and etc but doesnt work, and I dont want use hexa scape if i can do it.

You just need to XML-escape it by replacing < with <.
The built-in SecurityElement.Escape or WebUtility.HtmlEncode functions will do that for you.
