Tag it! WPF, Forms, what? Why would you mix up rich text with HTML (which you can show in your web browser control)?

Solution 1

Problem one is easy - use the RichTextBox.Rtf[^] property. This returns a string you can save in the usual way.

Problem 2 is harder, but there are a number of places to look
