Currently, the Intercom help center only supports H1 and H2 headings, and any attempt to use H3-H6 headings results in them being automatically converted to H2. This limitation poses a challenge for creating accessible content, as screen readers heavily rely on a comprehensive and hierarchical structure of headings to facilitate easy navigation for users with disabilities.

I request that Intercom extends the support to include H3-H6 headings in the help center articles. This shouldn’t be a heavy lift, as heading level support has been an integral part of the internet for a long time. Allowing a broader range of headings will provide a more granular and structured content hierarchy, which is a best practice for accessibility. This enhancement will benefit users who depend on screen readers by improving their ability to navigate articles efficiently and effectively.

Seconding this! Currently, if our articles have any headings lower than H2, we have to choose between two unacceptable options: 
1. Using the correct heading levels, which sacrifices users’ ability to use the TOC to quickly navigate through article content
2. Using H2s for all headings and adding hyphens/spaces before the heading text to offset them in the TOC for readability, which sacrifices clarity & accessibility for screen reader users 

I hope to see this in the pipeline in the near future!
