Sharpoint Headings using ARIA rather than Semnatic Markup

Hi there

I hope someone could help answer a point of discussion we have been having internally in regards to one of our internal SharePoint sites that has been created, we have noticed (as we are part of the accessibility forum within our organisation) that the Headings use

<div role="heading" aria-level="1">

rather than <h1>

It would be interesting to know why this approach was taken.
Thank you for your help.

Greg

This should be difference between SharePoint Online Modern Page and SharePoint Online classic page.

In SharePoint Online Modern Page/Site, it will use ARIA <div role="heading" aria-level="1">

In SharePoint Online classic Page/Site, it will use normal Semantic Element <h1> <h2> as headings.

In Summary, this is by design in SharePoint Online due to the difference of Modern Site.

Hi

Thank for coming back to me, my question was more as to why there is a difference, when standard practice is to use Symantec markup rather than ARIA.

Thank you

@GregSW12-1896, this should be the difference between classic and Modern style in SharePoint Online, please refer the description in my post below.
