    Hello Bukkit,
    I have run into a dilemma with one of my plugins, ugly formatting. I am returning a list of text items from an xml request, and it comes out into chat like this:

    How it looks on WolframAlpha (where I'm getting the info):

    Is there any easy way to format text into "stacks" and cubes like shown on the image above?

    This is the returned XML tree: http://api.wolframalpha.com/v2/query?input=minecraft&appid=JP3YKG-WVPQ5PP2H3

    Thanks for the help,
    ccrama

    EDIT: I'm planning on putting it in lore on a chat item, so the max width would have to be pretty small (maybe 20-30 characters long :l)
