I have had success in using the Poem extension to make this happen, as I am using the wiki software to manage a collection of song lyrics and writings. [Sorry, my Wiki is on my local network so I can't let anyone see it...] The extension is simple to install, and you wrap the text you want with line breaks like this:
<poem> Line 1 Line 2 . . . </poem>
Hope this helps.

I use the html line break "<br>". Works for me. Just put one at the end of each line you'd like to break.
For example, if you want the following to appear on your page:
line one line two
it will appear as follows if you type it that way: line oneline two
but
line one<br> line two
will appear as:
line one line two
Also note that an empty line (no spaces even) is interpreted as a line break. So the following:
line one
line two
will appear as typed. One can only hope for a wysiwyg editor.
