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.

Status and availability
Status and availability let everyone know roughly how quickly you'll be responding to messages.
A status is a customizable emoji, along with a short message. A typical status might be "📅 In a meeting" or "🏠 Working remotely". To make it easy to notice, the status emoji is shown next to your name in the sidebars, message feed, and compose box.
Your availability is a colored dot (like ) that indicates if you're currently active on Zulip, idle, or offline. You can also go invisible to appear offline to other users.

Availability
There are three availability states:
- Active (): Zulip is open and in focus on web, desktop or mobile, or was in the last 140 seconds.
- Idle (): Zulip is open on your computer (either desktop or web), but you are not active.
- Offline (): Zulip is not open on your computer, or you have turned on invisible mode.
View availability
{start_tabs}
{tab|desktop-web}
- View a user's availability on the user list in the right sidebar, the direct messages list in the left sidebar, or their user card. If there is no availability indicator, the user is offline.
!!! tip ""
You can see when someone offline was last active by hovering over their
name in the left or right sidebar.
{tab|mobile}
- Tap on a user's profile picture or name. Their availability appears to the left of their name on their profile.
{end_tabs}
Invisible mode
Zulip supports the privacy option of never updating the availability information for your account. The result is that you will always appear to other users as Offline, regardless of your activity in Zulip.
With this setting, your "Last active" time displayed to other users in the UI will be frozen as the approximate time you enabled this setting. Your activity will still be included in your organization's statistics.

Consider also [not
