You didn't really answer this, but from the answer below I assume WS
indent indeed is active at pmwiki.org.

I thought some more about this, and this type of indentation becomes
rather pointless for me if it doesn't act as a line continuation for the
first line...

Ok, let me know if you'd like some help here, perhaps discussing what the
problem is?
Btw, I can see how it'd definitely be useful to easily be able to start a
new paragraph by simply writing something like this:
* This is a line,
where this text goes in the first entry.
This line on the other hand is a new paragraph.
However, this line also belongs to the new paragraph.
which (I think) ought to render something as follows:
* This is a line, where this text goes in the first entry
This line on the other hand is a new paragraph. However,
this line also belongs to the new paragraph.
Is this the *intended* behaviour of the white-space indented markup?
