Heading level for Changelog entries

Description

In the new plugin repo, the plugin name is h1 (good), the section headings such as Description, Screenshots, Reviews, Changelog are h2 (good), and each Review title is a h3 (good).

However, each Changelog entry heading (i.e. version + date) jumps straight to a h4, despite the parent heading being a h2.

For the sake of structured hierarchical headings for screen reader users, I'd expect these change log entries to have h3 headings, even if it also had a class to style it as a smaller font (unnecessary IMO, but it's a better solution than skipped headings).

Highlights the issue, with the v3.0 release edited in browser dev tools to display as a h3 instead of the default h4.

  • Keywords needs-patch added
  • Priority changed from normal to low

This is an unfortunate side effect of the markdown parsing, which doesn't allow us to easily change the header style for elements - it's based on what heading level was specified in the markdown.

For screen readers, we shouldn't skip levels, but due to the complexity i'm lowering the priority.
