TextAnnotations - fromHtml and toHtml

[claudiaareneee]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be really great if I could create a TextAnnotation from parsing HTML. This would help us with things like interpreting the text editor, copy and paste, etc. It's kind of a big item.

I know that certain properties would be lost, and I'm doubt we could ensure styles stayed the same. But for a big picture skeleton, it would be nice to be able to convert between the two.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Individual runs have toHtml and fromHtml methods
• The top level TextAnnotation should also have these methods that recurse throught the TextBlock to construct a corresponding HTML block of text

This sounds like outside the scope of the core packages. Do technical limitations (e.g., data not exposed publicly) prevent you or someone else from implementing this?

Not that I can think of. We could do this in our own app, I just thought it made more sense to do it here as a helper function. Feel free to close this if you feel it doesn't fit.
