<article>
  <p>...</p>
  <h3>Heading</h3>
  <p>...</p>
</article>

ariaLevel

The ariaLevel option determines whether the heading role and aria-level attributes should be used and from which level they should begin. By default, they are set to 1.

phtmlHElement({ headingLevel: false, ariaLevel: 2 });
