Re: Consistency in heading font size

You can have different looks and feel for the same heading level. It is up
to the document author. I always recommend that you create multiple headings
of the same level but different fonts/size using a style based on the
original heading but called something like Heading 1A, Heading 1B and so
forth.

I do not think that there is any restriction on the visual representation of
headings in any document as to size and proportion to the base font.

While visually confusing for those with learning, cognitive or visual
disabilities, as long as the Tags Tree reflects the correct hierarchy, and
the Bookmarks reflect this as well, there is not much you can do with what
you get.
