Formatting mysql output in PHP

it displays it all as one line.

Its is because web browsers do not display whitespace characters such as newlines. What you need to is conver the newlines into a HTML break tags  <br />   PHP has a function that can do this for you called nl2br. Use this when you echo your post.

 

 

How can I automatically format the news? Like adding stuff for quotes and codes and paragraphs etc?

To format the text of your post you can either use bbcodes/markdown, or implement a WYSIWYG type editor, such as CKeditor
