Closes DOCS-875

/>

**Caption:** "Errors" at the bottom of the screen is just as large as
the title. The right sidebar shows h3s.

/>

**Caption:** The "Errors" at the bottom of the screen is smaller than
the main h1. The right drops the "Solutions" headers.

## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## Problem

The `title` frontmatter generates an `h1`. However, several pages have
multiple h1s.

## Fix

This PR demotes pages with h1s in the markdown body to h2s and so on. 

See [a troubleshooting page in
production](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/troubleshooting/supabase--your-network-ipv4-and-ipv6-compatibility-cHe3BP)
and in [in
preview](https://docs-git-demote-h1s-in-body-docs-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/troubleshooting/supabase--your-network-ipv4-and-ipv6-compatibility-cHe3BP).


## Future improvements

Possibly, we can add a linting rule to prevent this in the future. We'd
also want to check that the heading hierarchy is always consistent.

* **Documentation**
* Updated multiple guides and troubleshooting articles to enforce
consistent heading hierarchy and improved section nesting for clearer
in-page structure.
* Refreshed troubleshooting pages with cleaner table of contents and
navigation, including added guide links and re-leveled subsections.
* Reformatted Prisma troubleshooting content (including a deprecated
redirect) without changing the underlying guidance.
* Added a warning about manually setting database connection limits and
adjusted related warning/formatting across the max-connections guide.

Maintainers

If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.

DocSpec

We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.

  • OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
  • SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
  • ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
  • CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.

The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
