So:

"Text A Text B"

becomes

"Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B = Text A Text B Text A Text B
Text A Text B Text A Text B = Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B
Text A Text B = Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B
Text= A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B"

on an X/Y grid. It needs to be procedural.
