I need to insert text like this in my Latex document:

((((tetrameristaceae,pellicieraceae),marcgraviaceae),balsaminaceae),(fouquieriaceae,polemoniaceae,sladeniaceae,(ternstroemia,adinandra)pentaphylacaceae,(schima,gordonia)theaceae,(lissocarpa,diospyros)ebenaceae,symplocaceae,(maesaceae,(theophrastaceae,(primulaceae,(myrsine,ardisia)myrsinaceae))),(diapensiaceae,(parastyrax,styrax)styracaceae),sapotaceae,(barringtonia,gustavia)lecythidaceae,(((ericaceae,cyrillaceae),(purdiaea,clethra)clethraceae),(sarraceniaceae,((actinidia,saurauia)actinidiaceae,roridulaceae)))))ericales;

Latex writes the all text in one line, going way off in the right margin. I cannot use \linebreak by hand, this just gives a poor result when the text is longer, and it would be a lot of work given all the similar text to include.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Your question lacks the definition of the desired outcome, so I'll just try to guess.

Simplest idea: just add spaces after each comma.
