Equivalent of html "" tag in WPF?

Question

I have html file containing text with strong tag can say <strong>Windows Presentation Framework</strong>. I want to implement strong tag in flow document of WPF. I tried by setting font weight property to bold but not find an expected result/output as in html file. Any clue or hint on how to do it?

For <b> tag i tried with :

flowdocument.FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold;

I am trying to say whether I am go for class FontWeights(Bold or ExtraBold or SemiBold or Normal) or class FontStretches(Expanded or SemiExpanded or ExtraExpanded or Normal)

"but not find an expected result", what does that mean? Did the text segment appear in bold font or not? — Clemens, Nov 26 '14 at 13:18
Thanks for reply . ya it appears as bold.So you mean to say and are same for wpf — madan, Nov 26 '14 at 13:27
`b` and `strong` are the same in HTML as well, `b` is legacy mark-up that breaks the separation of structure and presentation and `strong` bears semantic meaning, it is not primarily stylistic device. I can't comment on the difference of font-weight and font-stretch in wPF, thought, hopefully someone chimes in with an explanation for curious. — Tomáš Hübelbauer, Nov 26 '14 at 13:48
Could it be that `stretch` is computed while `weight` is defined in the font file similarly like (if I'm not mistaken) `oblique` is computed geometrically while `italic` is defined in the font file by the designer? — Tomáš Hübelbauer, Nov 26 '14 at 13:51

Your content should look like this in XAML:

<FlowDocument><Paragraph><Bold>Windows Presentation Foundation</Bold></Paragraph></FlowDocument>

Have a look at the link below for more information on FlowDocument structure - it has it's own markup scheme like HTML (except it's XML): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970786(v=vs.110).aspx

Edit: To the downvoters - copy and paste this code into any XAML designer - it is CORRECT! It achieves the same typographic effect as <strong> in HTML.

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <RichTextBox>
            <FlowDocument>
                <Paragraph>
                    <Bold>Windows Presentation Foundation</Bold>
                </Paragraph>
            </FlowDocument>
        </RichTextBox>
    </Grid>
</Window>

thanks for your answer. it may looks like same but for me the length of the text(means in pixel) meters — madan, Nov 27 '14 at 04:10
