I'm not aware of any php way to do it,
but perl definitely allow you control on
the format of text.

$ perldoc perlform

DESCRIPTION
Perl has a mechanism to help you generate simple reports and charts.  To 
facilitate this, Perl helps you code up your output page close to how it
will look when it’s printed.

etc.......


Or maybe you can try some templates.
Template Toolkit comes to mind.
