This issue is also occurring for bullet list thats is added inside Reference dialog bix, they appear as * in the Read mode

One really shouldn't put lists inside a reference. References are supposed to be a single paragraph. I'll remove the tools for doing so which should reduce the impact of this.

Todo: create a ticket for the Parsoid side if this bug (not inserting line
breaks before */#)

Ed, what's the specific problem Parsoid's doing wrong?

<p>Hey!<span class="reference" data-mw="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;ref&quot;,&quot;body&quot;:{&quot;html&quot;:&quot;&lt;ul &gt;&lt;li &gt; foo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li &gt; bar&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li &gt; baz&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&quot;},&quot;attrs&quot;:{}}" id="cite_ref-1-0" rel="dc:references" typeof="mw:Extension/ref"><a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a></span></p>

… goes neatly to …

Hey!<ref>* foo

• bar
• baz</ref>

With \n as needed.

The PHP parser requires a \n before every *, including the first one. So it should be:

Hey!<ref>

• foo
• ...

Unless you want to start messing with the PHP parser...
