Subheadings are used for the title of any sub-sections in top-level page sections.
Accessibility
A clear and consistent heading structure helps merchants who have difficulty with reading or language. It also helps screen reader users to navigate the page using keystrokes that are custom to their screen reader.
Use the element prop to determine the specific HTML element that’s output for the subheading. The component defaults to a level 3 heading (<h3>). Use a different value for the element prop if a different subheading fits the context better.
