Description:
When editing a list, pressing Shift+Enter causes a hard line break to appear in the editor, for example:

1. My List
    • My Point [Press Shift+Enter Here]
      My Line-break point

However, when saving the page, this is what the Wikitext ends up looking like:

# My List
#* My Point  My Line-break point

(Note that there are *two sapces* where the line break should have been.)

And the resulting rendered page looks (incorrectly) like:

My List

My Point My Line-break point

Expected behavior:
Pressing Shift+Enter should insert a   tag, as is recommended on the Line-break handling article on Wikipedia.

Current pressing shift-enter in a list splits the paragraph:

<ul><li>Foobar</li></ul>

which converts to
* Foo bar

So we may want to fix this in Parsoid

Yes, this is deliberate and known behavior in Parsoid. For single-line mode constructs (like list items), we force conversion to single-line context. But, we could convert those to add instead, I suppose.

ssastry triaged this task as Medium priority.

ssastry removed a project: VisualEditor.

Right now, Parsoid does this for <li>, <dd>, <dt>, and <h*> tags. We could use the solution for li, dd, dt tags. What about h* tags? Should we retain current behavior? Or is the expectation there?
