Is there a reference to the other item? I am looking for it but search does not bring it up.
@rodrigoelp probably I was remembering the RichTextBox (that one is editable) issue: https://github.com/Microsoft/xaml-standard/issues/138
I would like a RichTextBlock that has support for rich text or Markdown. Getting an application translated properly would be so much easier if these formats would be supported directly by the standard.
For instance, in Cocoa you can achieve this by either getting the translator to provide an html (in which case you use the UIWebView) or getting an NSTextField to load your formatted text (providing a document formatter). Text and Run tags doesn't cut it and I shouldn't need to explain to my translators how to write XAML to get that to work.
Could use markup extensions that bind to a formatted string (markdown, html, rtf, tex etc) and produces the run tags etc.
For the editable version (RichTextBox) a document object model is definitely needed, so should make use of WPF/Silverlight existing work there
there is another item for RichTextBlock I think (or maybe it was separate one about editable RichTextBox?)
