The basic approach is to verify the html as valid and then walk the content converting to the XAML equivalent.

There are lots of examples of attempting this online

It is far more performant to do such a conversion on a server and pull the formatted version to the phone and then display with XamlReader.Load.

Update
For each element in the HTML you'll just be adding a new TextBlock to a container (probably a StackPanel) and for the <li> items you'll just want to prefix with a symbol to represent the bullet and adjust the left margin appropriately. You'll probably benefit from defining appropriate styles and then just applying the appropriate style for the element you're converting.

In your code you can Replace < li > tags with & # 8226 ;
