I've got a WPF TextBox into which my users type XHTML.

XAML...

<TextBox Name="TextBoxContentBody"
         TextWrapping="Wrap"
         AcceptsReturn="True"
         VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
         FontFamily="Consolas"
         ... />

It looks like this:

I'd rather that it looked like this (Photoshopped mock-up):

How might I accomplish this?

You'll want to use a RichTextBox for that.
