That doesn't do what I want for a number of reasons:-
I can't put any other DokuWiki syntax into the unformatted text.
What I want is a document where spaces and new-lines are as I type them
into the text but everything else is standard DokuWiki (in particular I
want to be able to put DokuWiki links into the text)
It changes the background colour and puts a dashed box around the text.
It wastes two spaces at the LHS.
I have just about managed what I want now by using a plugin to create a
<div> block with a class that causes the stylesheet above to be used.
Then, to prevent initial spaces from making DokuWiki changing the mode I
use a nobreakspace as the first character of the line (this was a
little more difficult than it might have been, I had to use xmodmap to
change the keyboard layout to send a nobreakspace).
