Another idea is to introduce a new markup, say [/.../], that has the
sole purpose of grouping multiple lines together into a single line
for block-level formatting purposes but continuing to honor embedded
markup. For example, the markup text
# This is item 1
# [/This is item #2 with
item text that
contain line breaks, italics, bold, links,
and paragraph breaks and still be
within the same item./]
# This is item 3
could then render as
1. This is item 1
2. This is item #2 with
item text that
contain line breaks, italics, bold, links,
and paragraph breaks and still be
within the same item.
3. This is item 3

This works for me. It preserves backward compatibility and consistency with other wikis. It invites the author to be explicit. However, I can see that a poetry author would prefer to write:
each line
as it comes to mind
without worrying about markup
