I'm having an issue with multiline text blocks where it is not center aligning properly The text is coming like <pre class="prettyprint"> abcde\nabc </pre> This comes out <pre class="prettyprint"> abcde abc </pre> What I want is <pre class="prettyprint"> abcde abc </pre> This seems a simple thing and I would have thought that the textblock would center align like that automatically but it does not seem to.

Try the <code>TextAlignment</code> property instead of <code>HorizontalAlignment</code>. First one is the alignment of text in the <code>TextBlock</code>, second the alignment of the <code>TextBlock</code> in the parent container.

I'm having an issue with multiline text blocks where it is not center aligning properly

The text is coming like

abcde\nabc

This comes out

  abcde
  abc

What I want is

  abcde
   abc

This seems a simple thing and I would have thought that the textblock would center align like that automatically but it does not seem to.
