I have a simple HTML (copy/paste from printable version of some Wikipedia page) and I wanna show it in my app.
Is there any way to convert it to a more native XAML look rather than just showing the whole page in a WebView?
You could use the HTML Agility Pack to parse the HTML and format a TextBlock or RichTextBlock. You can check out the RichTextBlockExtensions.LinkedHtmlFragment I wrote for a sample of how you might go about adding some text with links to a RichTextBlock, but this only supports plain text with some basic anchor tags. Anything more would require more work and I haven’t come across any open source library that would do it for you, since you would likely need to have custom styling for a limited set of pages. Otherwise – writing a generic HTML to XAML converter is probably an effort similar to implementing a new web browser.
