If you turn on (:linebreaks:), you can write it as:
(:linebreaks:)
# Do X.
Now you see the window.
# Click OK.
You can even make (:linebreaks:) the default for all pages -- add the following
to a local customization file:
$HTMLPNewline = '<br />';
Then it just becomes:
# Do X.
Now you see the window.
# Click OK.
