title: Windows 8 Metro RichTextColumns embed hyperlinks and images
body: <p>I am building a simple rss reader app for Windows 8 in C# and XMAL.</p>
  
  <p>The feed returns html content for the article body. </p>
  
  <p>I create an ItemDetailPage and in it, it uses RichTextBlock columns to display columns of text - which look great.</p>
  
  <p>So I bind a Content property to the rich text block which uses HtmlUtilities.ConvertToText to parse the text from the html content.</p>
  
  <p>This works well. However I still want to have hyperlinks and images in the content. Originally I was using a WebView and NavigateToString however you can't use columns so get a long page of text, which I don't want.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do this? I can parse the images and hyperlinks using the metro port of the 
  Html Agility Pack but is there any way to embed these hyperlinks and images? For images, I was thinking of adding to richtextcolumns class so when creating a new column, before adding that, it added an image. This may work, but would terrible with a image at the start of every column.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any ideas how this could be achieved? I would be similar to the contoso news app design they have up <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh868272.aspx" rel="noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh868272.aspx</a>. If you scroll to the article page they have a block quote in the article content.  </p>
