Series Question: $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{n+1}{2^nn^2}$

Consider Maclaurin series of natural logarithm $$ \ln(1-x)=-\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{x^n}{n}. $$ Taking $x=\dfrac12$ yields \begin{align} \ln\left(1-\frac12\right)&=-\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{2^n\ n}\\ \ln2&=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{2^n\ n}. \end{align} Now, dividing the Maclaurin series of natural logarithm by $x$ yields \begin{align} \frac{\ln(1-x)}{x}&=-\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{x^{n-1}}{n}, \end{align} then integrating both sides and taking the limit of integration $0<x<\dfrac12$. We obtain \begin{align} \int_0^{\Large\frac12}\frac{\ln(1-x)}{x}\ dx&=-\int_0^{\Large\frac12}\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{x^{n-1}}{n}\ dx\\ &=-\sum_{n=1}^\infty\int_0^{\Large\frac12}\frac{x^{n-1}}{n}\ dx\\ &=-\left.\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{x^{n}}{n^2}\right|_{x=0}^{\Large\frac12}\\ -\int_0^{\Large\frac12}\frac{\ln(1-x)}{x}\ dx&=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{2^n\ n^2}. \end{align} The integral in the LHS is $\text{Li}_2\left(\dfrac12\right)=\dfrac{\pi^2}{12}-\dfrac{\ln^22}{2}$, but since you are not familiar with dilogarithm function, we will evaluate the LHS integral using IBP. Taking $u=\ln(1-x)$ and $dv=\dfrac1x\ dx$, we obtain \begin{align} \int_0^{\Large\frac12}\frac{\ln(1-x)}{x}\ dx&=\left.\ln(1-x)\ln x\right|_0^{\large\frac12}+\int_0^{\Large\frac12}\frac{\ln x}{1-x}\ dx\\ &=\ln^22-\lim_{x\to0}\ln(1-x)\ln x-\int_1^{\Large\frac12}\frac{\ln (1-x)}{x}\ dx\ ;\\&\color{red}{\Rightarrow\text{let}\quad x=1-x}\\ \int_0^{\Large\frac12}\frac{\ln(1-x)}{x}\ dx+\int_1^{\Large\frac12}\frac{\ln (1-x)}{x}\ dx&=\ln^22-0\\ -\left.\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{x^{n}}{n^2}\right|_{x=0}^{\Large\frac12}-\left.\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{x^{n}}{n^2}\right|_{x=1}^{\Large\frac12}&=\ln^22\\ \sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{2^n\ n^2}+\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{2^n\ n^2}-\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{n^2}&=-\ln^22\\ 2\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{2^n\ n^2}-\frac{\pi^2}{6}&=-\ln^22\\ \sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{2^n\ n^2}&=\frac{\pi^2}{12}-\frac{\ln^22}{2}. \end{align} Thus, \begin{align} \sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{n+1}{2^n\ n^2}&=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\left(\frac{1}{2^n\ n}+\frac{1}{2^n\ n^2}\right)\\ &=\large\color{blue}{\ln2+\frac{\pi^2}{12}-\frac{\ln^22}{2}}. \end{align}

The series \begin{align} S = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n+1}{2^{n} \ n^{2}} \end{align} can be expressed as \begin{align} S = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2^{n} \ n} + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2^{n} \ n^{2}} \end{align} and is seen to be \begin{align} S = - \ln\left( 1 - \frac{1}{2} \right) + Li_{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right), \end{align} where $Li_{2}(x)$ is the dilogarithm function. Since \begin{align} Li_{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{\pi^{2}}{12} - \frac{1}{2} \ \ln^{2}(2) \end{align} then the resulting series has the value \begin{align} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n+1}{2^{n} \ n^{2}} = \frac{\pi^{2}}{12} + \ln(2) - \frac{1}{2} \ \ln^{2}(2). \end{align} This may also be seen in the form \begin{align} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n+1}{2^{n} \ n^{2}} = \frac{\pi^{2}}{12} + \frac{1}{2} \ \ln(2) \ \ln\left(\frac{e^{2}}{2}\right). \end{align}

\begin{align}&\color{#c00000}{% \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty}{n + 1 \over 2^{n}\,n^{2}}} =\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty}{\pars{1/2}^{n} \over n} +\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty}{\pars{1/2}^{n} \over n^{2}} ={\rm Li}_{1}\pars{\half} + {\rm Li}_{2}\pars{\half} \end{align} where $\ds{{\rm Li_{s}}\pars{z} \equiv \sum_{k = 1}^{\infty}{z^{k} \over k^{\rm s}}}$ is the PolyLogarithm Function.

However: $$ {\rm Li}_{1}\pars{\half} = \ln\pars{2}\qquad\mbox{and}\qquad {\rm Li}_{2}\pars{\half} = {\pi^{2} \over 12} - \half\,\ln^{2}\pars{2} $$

$$\color{#00f}{\large% \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty}{n + 1 \over 2^{n}\,n^{2}} ={\pi^{2} \over 12} + \ln\pars{2} - \half\,\ln^{2}\pars{2}}\approx 1.2754 $$
