Shubham Padia 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:

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.

  • Catch up on followed topics at the start of the day, and whenever you want to spend a few minutes checking on on the conversations that need your attention.
  • No more stressing about missing a reply to your message in channels you don't regularly read. You can automatically follow topics you start or participate in.
  • You can also mute the channels you don't regularly read, and automatically follow or unmute topics you start or participate in. In muted channels, topics you follow are automatically treated as unmuted, so it will be easy to see when someone responds to your message.
  • If you like, follow just the topics where your prompt attention is needed, and enable desktop and mobile notifications for followed topics.
