In the same page, 5 or 6th paragraph:

  << Per-page customizations. PmWiki also allows per-page
customizations, simply use the full name of the page to be customized
instead of the group. For example, one can use the file
local/Chess.HomePage.php to set local customizations for
Chess.HomePage. >>

In this configuration file (or at a more global scope), you're free to
conditionally disable PmWiki standard markup with:

  $EnableStdMarkup = 0;

BTW, you could (more or less) easily use the approach taken by
EditMore[1] and EditTitle[2] recipes in order to maintain your exotic
page contents entirely enclosed into (:html:)...(:htmlend:) or
(:markdown:)...(:markdownend:) section which would be rendred as
expected using the appropriate recipe[3,4].
