Basically, I have text in a table that I would like to be displayed as a list in my GUI application.
What I have:
column1 | column2 | column3 |
-----------| -----------| ----------|
col1atext | col2atext | col3atext |
col1btext | col2btext | col3btext |
What I need:
col1atext #wrap to the next line
col2atext #wrap to the next line
col3atext
------------
col1btext #wrap to the next line
col2btext #wrap to the next line
col3btext
------------
I have exhausted my Google search, and have not found any examples of this. Everything I see allows for just one line of text in a list, but I'd like to show a list of lists (multiple lines of text). I could just create a single string of text with enough spaces between the separate pieces of text in order to force text wrapping over several lines, but that doesn't seem like a real solution (pseudocode below).

Any ideas to make this better?
Update 4/10/17: found a solution from this question.
