format text block in GUI.Box
I have a paragraph long string of text that I am placing in a GUI.Box. This string runs as one long line and does not start a new line when the text runs out of the bounds of the GUI.Box.
I would like a way to have the string automatically break and start a new line whenever a certain number of characters has been printed. Ideally, I would be able to enter the width of the GUI.Box so that the text is correctly formated to fit inside properly.

All you need to do is change the GUIStyle for box to use wordWrap
Quick example:
GUIStyle boxStyle = "box";
boxStyle.wordWrap = true;
GUI.Box(new Rect(50, 50, 100, 100), "aaa aaa aa aaa aaa aa aa aaa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa a a a aaaa aa aa aaaaa a aa aa a a a a a aaa", boxStyle);
Though generally you'll want to copy the original box style, change it, and store it as a member variable in the script
