Arrow iconsIn the wikitext editor, the only way to create multi-paragraph citations is to explicitly wrap the paragraphs in `<p>` tags. Any line breaks in the source are silently dropped from read mode.
Steps to reproduce:In the visual editor, you can place line breaks within a citation simply by hitting return. After you add them, they will display in both the citation inspector and the citation list. If you open a page which has a preexisting citation with linebreaks, the linebreaks will not display in the citation inspector and will display as arrow characters (↵) in the citation list.

1.Go to a page in http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/In both cases, the breaks will not display at all in read mode.
2.Click the button Edit-beta
3.Add a reference in the page
4.In the reference editor,insert multiple lines
5.Save the page
6.Click on the edit button again
Observed ResultWe should either:
In the edit mode1. prevent the user from entering line breaks in basic citation dialog, for every line entered in the reference editor,or
2. there are arrow icon in the reference list section and in the correspondpreserve any line breaks the user does enter using reference editor`<p>` tags.
