71640d53d8 help: Standardize Welcome Bot and Notification Bot styling.
In the help center, we want these two system bots to be referred
to as names: capitalize both words, no bold, no links, no "the"
before the bot's name.

Once the help center has transitioned to astro, we will look at
adding back the formatting to the title and sidebar for these
two articles: "General chat topic" and "General chat channels".

6e7f1999a3 help: Use unordered lists for sub-lists in saml-authentication.md.
Our current conversion script does not work well with inserting
flattened steps in indented lists. Adding support for indented lists
would be non-trivial. Flattened steps are inserted either in case of
files or relative/setting links. I used this (  +)\{ regex to test for
instances where we might need to insert Flattened steps in an indented
block. Turns out saml-login-button.md is the only includes that faces
the issue only in saml-authentication.md.

There was no strong reason for these sub-lists to be ordered lists and
we decided to turn it into unordered list. Discussion at

62988bb09e help-beta: Seperate heading/description and ordered list into 2 files.
For included files, our conversion tool needs a file just to be an
ordered list to properly surround it with FlattenList. If there is
heading and description in the file, the conversion script will not
insert FlattenList. So, we just create two different include files in
this case, first for the heading/description and second for the ordered
list.

Fixes
https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/channel/19-documentation/topic/new.20help.20center.3A.20Includes.20inside.20list.20item
The macro works fine for the current help center. But for the new help
center, the macro has a paragraph tag already, when it is part of a list
item, the margin inserted by starlight causes spacing issue. We can
override the margin for this specific case when we have the ability to
modify the MDX directly. Issue for that: #35407. Until then, we remove
this macro since it's only used it two places to have proper spacing.

7ce87c66ac help: Make loose lists tight for help center files.
In our current implementation, loose lists and tight lists look the same
visually. Loose lists are lists with blank lines between list items, and
the contents of a list item should be enclosed in a paragraph tag in
that case. For unordered lists, paragraph tags have a bottom margin in
starlight and thus looses lists look much more spaced out than tight
lists.

That is not the behaviour we had in mind while writing the
documentation, the reason we had all these loose lists is to make the
documentation easy to write and read. So we attempt to remove all the
blank lines and fix the problem at source. Since paragraph tags are used
for other purposes in a list in starlight, it won't be a wise decision
to let the source be as is and just change things in css, other expected
behaviours might break in that case. See this topic for more details:
https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/channel/19-documentation/topic/new.20help.20center.3A.20regressions/near/2226084

All the changes were made by a one-off script which has not been
commited to the repo. The script wasn't perfect and could not decide
between blank lines that make a list loose vs blank lines necessary for
a sub-list or a code block inside a list item. A manual review of all
the changes was done before making this commit to ensure that no
unintended changes were made to the help center files.

1a2adb4e82 help-beta: Update sidebar to the current state.
Partially fixes #35130.
We will still need to do a second check before the cutover, but this
commit does most of the work before the cutover happens.
The comparison was done manually.
Added comment to sidebar index should help update these changes to astro
config, although we will not solely rely on people reading that. A
second check before cutover would be prudent.

If the feature is a mobile only feature, then adds the link to the
Flutter GitHub issue in a warning note.

35e4cf6bf6 help: Ordered list item should always be followed by an indented line.
Our help-beta conversion script expects text to be indented if the text
is part of the same list item. If it is not part of the same list item,
then it expects an empty line just after the list item. This commit
fixes existing instances for the same by searching for regex: `^1\.
.*\n(?!\n)(?!1\.)( {0,1}\S.*)`.

We do not want to add a lint rule for this, since not indenting is not
technically wrong. We will add a TODO list item in the conversion script
for help-beta in future commits.

a54d247111 help: Use 1. for numbered lists everywhere.
The conversion script for help-beta assumes that all items in a numbered
list start with 1. which was a wrong assumption. This commit attempts to
fix that. We are not introducing any lint step to tackle this since it
will be easy to just check for this again before the cutover happens.
We do not change this for `numbered-list-examples.md` since that example
shows how the current numbered lists work and we might still want to
show that. We can decide what to do with that file once the time of
cutover arrives.

Update to maintain consistency with the value of the context property

We avoid using the context property for these instances because we
always want them to show "your-org.zulipchat.com" irrespective of the
domain the docs are hosted in. Hence, the manual replacements.
