I know it in the spec stylesheets but why was this made like this?

    I’ve never experienced H2 to be larger than H1 in such usage, but rather the same size. Are you sure there aren’t any CSS affecting your result?

    From a stackoverflow reply:

    Why h1 and h2 are same?

    This is by design is because browser manufacturers think/agreed, that beneath web editors, producers and developers the <h2> is commonly treated as the visual more important heading and headings in the content documents should then ideally start with . That is why <h1> font-size is not default bigger inside <article>, <aside>, <nav>, <section> tags.

      It is number 2,

      <body>
    <main>
        <article>
            <h1>Post Title</h1>
            <h2>Post "Topic"</h2>
        </article>
    </main>
</body>

      Doing now the same as some developers I found:

      <body>
    <main> 
        <h1>Post Title</h1>
        <article>
            <h2>Post "Topic"</h2>
        </article>
    </main>
</body>

      Im asking because I found this question on stackoverflow for the section tag

    They probably expect you to use a new section with h1 for each uhhh section where you would use a h2 tag. So I gueas the h2 didn’t get any new styling information at all.

    In the end it’s a mess most devs just fix with their own stylesheet.
