I don't know how you configured PmWiki's Cookbook pages, but on my
local version I had to define the recipeinfo block as:

>>recipeinfo<<(:linebreaks:)
...
(:nolinebreaks:)>><<

to have it displayed correctly. Should I alter my Cookbook.php to
reflect PmWiki's behavior
(with I suspect something like $GLOBALS['HTMLPNewline']='<br  />' ) or
update the Cookbook.Template ?

BTW this could be nice having the (:(no)?linebreaks:) defined as a
kind of style.
