Subject: [PATCH] fix(chapters): remove duplicate chapter title lines in
 content

Fixed issue where chapter marker lines appeared twice:
1. Once in the navigation bar as the chapter title
2. Again at the start of the chapter content

Changes:
- Modified detectChapters() to exclude marker lines from chapter text
- When a chapter marker is found, content now starts from the next line
- Special handling for when first line is a chapter marker
- Chapter title is extracted but not duplicated in the content

This eliminates the "two pages per chapter" issue where users
saw an empty page with just the title, then the title repeated
with the actual content.
