I want to show some SQL queries inside a notebook. I neither need nor want them to run. I'd just like them to be well formatted. At the very least I want them to be indented properly with new lines, though keyword highlighting would be nice too. Does a solution for this exist already?

If you set the cell as Markdown one you can write the sql query as code specifying the language (e.g. mysql)
``` mysql
SELECT *
FROM table_a AS a
LIMIT 10;
```
This produces:
It highlights the keywords. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to deal with indentation which seems to be the main issue you are trying to deal with but maybe this helps.

If you - like me - find yourself here because you want to highlight (and run) the %%sql magic, you're best of with the technique of this answer. Posting it here cause it took me quite some time before I found the correct keywords to my answer :)
require(['notebook/js/codecell'], function(codecell) {
codecell.CodeCell.options_default.highlight_modes['magic_text/x-mssql'] = {'reg':[/^%%sql/]} ;
Jupyter.notebook.events.one('kernel_ready.Kernel', function(){
Jupyter.notebook.get_cells().map(function(cell){
if (cell.cell_type == 'code'){ cell.auto_highlight(); } }) ;
});
});

I found that this fixed the issue I was having.
``` sql
Produced styled code in edit mode but not when the cell was run.
``` mysql
Produced correct styling
