table troubles

Hi ! I'm making a web site which allows user to add his own news, or other data to the page via the form. The user inputs the data into the <textarea> and the data is placed into a table. The problem is that all the text is placed into a single line ! Is there a html catch to prevent this, or I'll have to break the string into the smaller parts ? This is not so good, because of the screen resolution ... Help !!!
