[pmwiki-users] New markup suggestion

[Petko Yotov]

It already works this way with a double backslashes:

* first item\\
   still first item, after the linebreak\\
   retains indentation
* second item

Triple backslash at the end of a line already means 2 linebreaks.

In general, (x) backslashes at the end of a line mean (x-1) linebreaks, 
for x between 1 and +infinity.
