How can PHP developers format and display news content stored with line breaks and empty lines in a MySQL database?

To format and display news content stored with line breaks and empty lines in a MySQL database, PHP developers can use the nl2br() function to convert newline characters to HTML line breaks. This function will preserve the line breaks and display the content with proper formatting on the webpage. 

<?php
// Retrieve news content from MySQL database
$news_content = $row['content'];

// Display news content with line breaks converted to HTML line breaks
echo nl2br($news_content);
?>
