HTML Styles in TextView on Mono for Android

I have this situation in my strings.xml.

<string name="mensagem">Olá <b><i> {0} </i></b>,</string>

And in my code I do this:

string msg = String.Format(Resources.GetString(Resource.String.mensagem).ToString(), cliente.Nome.ToUpper());
lblNome.Text = Html.FromHtml(msg).ToString();

But the style tags (b,i) do not work. I need to concatenate words with and without style, so I need to do it in this way. I cant use setTypeface because I need to style individual words and after that, join those words on a sentence.

What is the way ?

Regards, Marcelo.

You need to change your code to the following. 

string msg = String.Format(Resources.GetString(Resource.String.mensagem).ToString(), cliente.Nome.ToUpper());
lblNome.TextFormatted = Html.FromHtml(msg);

Html.FromHtml(string).ToString() is just converting the formatted ISpannable back to a string so you are losing the formatting.
