HTML in Silverlight

I am making a silverlight interface for a discussion panel. The web interface of the boards allows you to use regular HTML tags, such as i, a, img, b, u. So now I need to show this in Silverlight. This: http://www.vectorlight.net/silverlight/controls/rich_textblock.aspx seemed exactly what I needed, except that it hardly displays everything correctly. Each HTML (I made sure it is valid with HTMLAgility) that I give it either makes the entire SL application white, or the block displays all the text on top of each other. Sometimes (with a few VERY simple lines), it will display correctly.

This is necessary for OOB to work both internally, and I cannot use the WebBrowser control, since I would need hundreds of instances at a time, and it slows down (I tried OOB).

Thanks.
