[DOCS] Consistent headings, newlines, wraps (#1293)
I've been running into variations in style in the docs I've edited so far. I've been
including changes for consistency in with other commits but in many cases that makes one
part of one doc more consistent with the rest but less consistent with itself. It seems
like a bit of cleanup may be in order.

This change applies the following conventions:

- Section heading heirarchy:
  #. ``=`` with overline for document title, IOW first heading
  #. ``-``
  #. ``~``
  #. ``"``

- Two newlines before ``-`` sections for readability

- A newline between every section of any level and the first line of text

- Wrap paragraph lines at 88 characters to match Python's Black

I've only applied these changes to those ``*.rst`` files that aren't generated.

In the future, I might suggest another bulk change to match [the Sphinx conventions for
section
headings](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html#sections).

Music Presets
=============
Music downloadable by yt-dlp comes in many flavors. ``ytdl-sub`` offers a suite of
various presets for handling some of the most popular forms of uploaded music content.
.. hint::
The subscription *value* (denoted by =) will set the genre tag for all music scraped
under its key for all music presets.
YouTube Releases
----------------
Many artists, especially those auto-uploaded as ``Topics`` in YouTube have a section on
their channel named "Releases", or "Albums and Singles". The ``YouTube Releases`` preset
aims to scrape this *playlist of playlists*.
Playlists are recognized as the album, and videos within it are tracks.
.. code-block:: yaml
YouTube Releases:
= Jazz: # Sets genre tag to "Jazz"
"Thelonious Monk": "https://www.youtube.com/@officialtheloniousmonk/releases"
If you are only interested in a subset of albums, you can provide their playlists as
separate values in the form of an array, like so:
.. code-block:: yaml
YouTube Releases:
= Jazz:
"Thelonious Monk":
- "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lcqINwfzkw73TPnAt6MlpB6V0gM9VzQu8" # Monk on Monk
- "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nhuvjuZOO3yLIWCbQzbiWfyzkGapSIuYw" # Late Night Thelonious Monk
YouTube Full Albums
-------------------
In many cases, albums are uploaded to YouTube as a single video, where each track as
separated by either chapters or timestamps in a description. The ``YouTube Full Albums``
preset will take each video and split it by the chapters to form an album.
Videos are recognized as the album, and chapters within it are tracks.
.. code-block:: yaml
YouTube Full Albums:
= Lofi:
"Game Chops": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBsm_SagFMmdWnCnrNtLjA9kzfrRkto4i"
If you are only interested in a subset of albums, you can provide their video as
separate values in the form of an array, like so:
.. code-block:: yaml
YouTube Full Albums:
= Lofi:
"Game Chops":
- "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7vBrD7LMLI" # Zelda & Sleep Ensemble Collection
- "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0XebCwSpKI" # Study Buddy ~ video game lofi mix
Soundcloud Discography
----------------------
SoundCloud tracks can be uploaded as either a single, part of an album, or a
collaboration with another artist. At this time, ``SoundCloud Discography`` only scrapes
singles and albums. It will attempt to group tracks into albums before falling back to
single format.
.. code-block:: yaml
SoundCloud Discography:
= Chill Hop:
"UKNOWY": "https://soundcloud.com/uknowymunich"
= Synthwave:
"Lazerdiscs Records": "https://soundcloud.com/lazerdiscsrecords"
"Earmake": "https://soundcloud.com/earmake"
Bandcamp
--------
Bandcamp albums and singles can be scraped using the ``Bandcamp`` preset.
.. code-block:: yaml
Bandcamp:
= Lofi:
"Emily Hopkins": "https://emilyharpist.bandcamp.com/"
