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.

Mention all topic participants
Using the @**topic** mention, you can mention everyone who has previously
participated in the topic by sending a message or
reacting with an emoji. This lets you notify just those
who have already engaged in the conversation.
Users can disable notifications for @**topic** mentions by:
-
Disabling notifications for wildcard mentions globally or for individual channels.
Mention everyone on a channel
You can mention everyone on a channel with the @**all** mention (or,
equivalently, @**everyone** or @**channel**). It's best to use these mentions
only when your message requires timely attention from many channel subscribers.
An organization can be configured to
restrict wildcard mentions in large channels.
Users can disable notifications for @**all**, @**everyone**, and
@**channel** mentions by:
-
Disabling notifications for wildcard mentions globally or for individual channels.
