FormattedString HelloWorld = new FormattedString(new Span[] {
  new Span() {
    Text = "Hello",
    ForegroundColor = new SpanColor(125,125,125)
  },
  new Span() {
    Text = "World",
    FontAttributes = FontAttributes.Bold | FontAttributes.Italic,
    FontSize = FontSize.Small
  }
});

In PCL or target Platform: make ISpaanableString

ISpannableString spannableString = HelloWorld.Build();

In target Platform: put spanned string

//for Android
textView.TextFormatted = spannableString.Span();
textView.SetTextWithCommandableSpan(spannableString); // for using Command
//for iOS
Label.AttributedText = spannableString.Span();
//for All Windows Platform
spannableString.SetTo(TextBlock);

Span Method is only cast ISpannableString→each platform`s SpannableString and take Text field
SetTo Method is for All Windows Platform, auto clear and add all span to TextBlock-Text.
