Code for format TextBlock

To show formatted text i.e. text having multiple styles or colors in a single line in your windows phone apps then we can easily do so with a TextBlock

<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left"  TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="480">
    <Run Text="Hello World! " FontSize="18" Foreground="Red" FontWeight="Bold" ></Run>
    <Run Text="I am learning " FontStyle="Italic" ></Run>
    <Run Text="How to format text." FontWeight="Bold" TextDecorations="Underline"></Run>
</TextBlock>

We can also change the font style of selected part of a line by using FontFamily property of TextBlock.

<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left"  TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="480">
   <Run Text="Hello World! " FontFamily="Verdana"  FontSize="18" Foreground="Red" FontWeight="Bold" ></Run>
   <Run Text="I am learning " FontFamily="Times New Roman" FontStyle="Italic" ></Run>
   <Run Text="How to format text." FontFamily="Algerian" FontWeight="Bold" TextDecorations="Underline"></Run>
</TextBlock>

Here is the output of above code.
