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.

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.
