Or, simply install the proper NuGet package using Visual Studio or command line:

• HTML WinForms (HtmlRenderer.WinForms)
• HTML WPF (HtmlRenderer.WPF)
• Mono (HtmlRenderer.Mono)
• PDF using PdfSharp (HtmlRenderer.PdfSharp)

        htmlPanel.Text = "<p><h1>Hello World</h1>This is html rendered text</p>";
