Shubham Padia 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.

# Mute a user
!!! tip ""
This feature mutes a user from your personal perspective, and does not
automatically notify anyone.
You can mute any user you do not wish to interact with. Muting someone will
have the following effects:
* Combined feed sent by a muted user will automatically be [marked as
read](/help/marking-messages-as-read) for you, and will never
generate any desktop, email, or mobile push notifications.
* Combined feed sent by muted users, including the name, profile
picture, and message content, are hidden behind a **Click here to
reveal** banner. A revealed message can later be [re-hidden](/help/mute-a-user#re-hide-a-message-that-has-been-revealed).
* Muted users are hidden from [**Direct
messages**](/help/direct-messages) in the left sidebar and the list
of users in the right sidebar. Direct messages between you and a
muted user are excluded from all views, including search, unless you
[explicitly search](/help/search-for-messages) for `dm-with:<that
user>`.
* Muted users have their name displayed as "Muted user" for [emoji
reactions][view-emoji-reactions], [polls](/help/create-a-poll), and
when displaying the recipients of group direct messages.
* Muted users are excluded from the autocomplete for composing a
direct message or [mentioning a user](/help/mention-a-user-or-group).
* Muted users are excluded from [read receipts](/help/read-receipts)
for all messages. Zulip never shares whether or not you have read
a message with a user you've muted.
* **Recent conversations** and other features that display avatars will
show a generic user symbol in place of a muted user's profile picture.
* To avoid interfering with administration tasks, channel and
organization settings display muted users' names and other details.

Muting someone does not affect their Zulip experience in any way.
