Ok. In that case I think

  	$WikiStyleCSS[] = 'white-space';

should be part of the standard distribution (and I can add how to do this 
to the documentation). The following is quite useful:

 	>>white-space=pre font-family=monospace<<
 	bla bla bla
 	(:include SomePage:)
 	>><<

The difference with [@...@] is for instance that this wouldn't work:

 	[@
 	bla bla bla
 	(:include SomePage:)
 	@]
