Remarks

Code migration note Microsoft Silverlight doesn't support a Margin property on Block or Paragraph. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) has a Margin property on Block and Paragraph, but also has a Padding property there that the Windows Runtime doesn't support. If you need per-paragraph padding support, you might need to put each Paragraph in a different Border container and use a Panel for layout control, and set Border.Padding on each Border. Or, use RichTextBlock.
