The RichTextBlock control doesn't accept HTML text and formatting for its layout. It has its own format (shown below). However, you could write a converted that took HTML and converted it to the format that RichTextBlock understands.

<RichTextBlock IsTextSelectionEnabled="True" SelectionHighlightColor="Pink" FontFamily="Arial"  >
    <Paragraph>
        <Run Foreground="Blue" FontWeight="Light" Text="This is some" ></Run>
        <Span FontWeight="SemiBold">
            <Run FontStyle="Italic">sample text to</Run>
            <Run Foreground="Red">demonstrate some properties.</Run>
        </Span>
    </Paragraph>
</RichTextBlock>

If you actually need to show HTML, you likely need to put it into the WebBrowser control.

Update:

There's a NuGet package that implements this conversion for RichTextBlock. In your Visual Studio NuGet package manager search for RichTextBlock.Html2Xaml, install that library, and they you can call the Html2Xaml method to provide you with something presentable in the RichTextBlock.
