Is there a markup wizard who can help with this problem?

Markup(':vspace', 'fulltext','/<:vspace>/',"<p class='vspace'>&nbsp;</p>");
translates empty lines.

Markup('^ws', '<^img', '/^(\\s+)(.*?)/e', "WSIndent2('$1')");
for non-list item indents the function returns
"<:p,1>$HTMLPNewline$brsp$sp"

$HTMLPNewline = '<br />';
$brsp$sp gives a number of whitespace substitute characters.

So white spaces at line start add a <br/> tag.
This is fine for lines following directly other lines with text.
But following an empty line there will be one <br/> too many.
