Shubham Padia 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.
