The above syntax is almost right.

http://pmwiki.com/wiki/Test/LongListItems 

Don't use use line breaks of any sort within each paragraph. Normally 
the program ignores a single line break, but not within a list item.

Do not use a space as the first character; it is the code for
monospace.

The only problem with that suggestion is that with a numbered list, the
numbering doesn't increment.  I would recommend using the \\ linebreak
notation between paragraphs within each list item.
