We need a markup or some way for PmWiki to recognize when the
adjacent lines are to be separate blocks rather than joined together
into a single paragraph.

For now, I recommend simply keying off of "%block", so that
any line that begins with this string is automatically placed into
its own block:

   Markup('^%block', '>^!<:',
     '/^%block\\s/',
     '<:p>%block ');

This will cause such blocks to each get their own paragraph, each
wrapped in its own <p>...</p>.  If you want the adjacent blocks to
not be in paragraph tags, use '<:block>%block ' for the fourth parameter.
