The wide lines are produced by <pre> tags being applied to text which
has one or several empty spaces at the beginning of the line.
This si done by the PmWiki markup for whitespace.
You can disable it with

  DisableMarkup('^ws');

If you wish to preserve the first line indent an author intended by
placing one or several empty spaces at the line start, you could try
this (in addition to the above and the $HTMLPNewline = '<br />';):

  $HTMLStylesFmt[]=" p.firstlineindent {text-indent:4em} \n";
  Markup('^  ','block','/^(\\s+)(.*)/',
       "<:block,1><p class='firstlineindent'>$2</p>");

This will convert the paragraph by removing any empty spaces at line
start and applying a class=firstlineindent, which you could change to
your liking.
