New Post: remove html tags but keep formatting like bold and italics

is it possible to use the html agility pack to remove the html tags that are being displayed in my pdf and just display the text with the proper formatting? I have an mvc application and I am also using pdf sharp. i have a line of code that is displaying all the html tags included with the text.
here is the code creating the text from the description field :

        graphics.DrawString("" + report.Description, font2, XBrushes.Black, new XRect(margin + 90, page.Height - (lineHeight * 35), page.Width, page.Height), XStringFormats.TopLeft);

here is the publis class model :

    public string Description { get; set; }

and this is what i was using to strip the tags but i dont get any of the proper bolding or italics it is supposed to display:

report.Description = Regex.Replace(report.Description, "<.*?>| ", string.Empty);

any advice or support would be greatly appreciated. i have never used the html agility pack but i had some suggestions to try it and just need some help getting started. please let me no if this is possible.

thank u in advance. and please let me no if you need anymore info.
