polybjorn b08c4ef243 docs: standardise English heading style and surface hidden pages (#8766)
Apply sentence case to all H1s in docs/en/ and remove redundant "FreshRSS"
from titles where the docs site context already implies it. Align the three
section index titles to "Administrator/Developer/User manual", matching
the existing root H1 "FreshRSS manual (English)".

Add missing H1s to two pages that were silently dropped from the sidebar:
the user FAQ and the Caddy reverse proxy page. The sidebar template uses
page.title (derived from H1 by jekyll-titles-from-headings), so pages
without an H1 had title=nil and were skipped.

Update sidebar parent labels in docs_nav.html and the chapter list in
en/index.md to use the new "* manual" naming. Update link text in section
indexes that referenced the old H1s. Bundle two grammar fixes encountered
along the way: "an User Interface" -> "a user interface", and drop the
awkward "the" in "Configuring the email address validation".

EN only. No filenames, URLs, or anchor targets changed (anchors come from
H2 and below, which are untouched). FR is generated from EN via po4a and
will be regenerated separately.

User manual

Learning how to handle a new application is not always easy. Weve tried to make FreshRSS as intuitive as possible, but you might still need a little help to master the program.

This section will guide you to the pages you need to get started. The order is tailored to newcomers.

Add Feeds

After installing the application, the first step is to add some feeds. You have a few options:

  1. Add a feed manually
  2. Import an OPML or JSON file
  3. Use the bookmarklet

Reading Views

Once you have added your feeds to FreshRSS, it is time to read them. There are three available reading modes:

  1. The normal view enables you to quickly read new articles
  2. The global view shows you an overview of the status of your feeds in one glance
  3. The reader view offers you a comfortable reading experience

Customize

Now that youve mastered basic use, its time to configure FreshRSS to improve your reading experience. Its highly configurable, so its recommended to play around with them to find a configuration that suits you well. Here are a few resources to help you improve your daily FreshRSS experience:

FreshRSS has a built-in engine that scrapes a website to create an own feed.
