Summary
Reader extraction currently rewrites all in-article
h1elements toh2so the article title can remain the sole top-level heading in the reader UI. Moreover, removes the first similar heading spotted after the title. These normalizations improve classic “reader mode” presentation but weaken the semantic outline of the page: crawlers, SEO tooling, and systems that infer structure from HTML (including retrieval and “reverse engineering” of how a page is organized) rely on stable heading levels that match the publisher’s markup.This change preserves the original heading tag names and levels in the extracted content wherever we are not explicitly removing noise, so the serialized article HTML stays closer to the source document’s hierarchy. All that is gated behind an option.
