Just a little note,
Use <br/> instead of <br>, seeing that by default a wiki is XHTML and
every tag needs to be closed. A <br> tag is opened, but never closed.

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.

Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Forcing A Line Break
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.
