[NcAppSettingsSection] The settings section size is incompatible with the default heading size of server

[GretaD]

The sections on modal settings are sized down by NcAppSettingsSection. This is an issue for any app that uses headings inside a settings modal.
Noticed while working on nextcloud/mail#12748

Reproduction steps

• Go to mail app
• Open Account settings
• Notice that Mail server (child) appears bigger than IMAP Settings (parent)

I do not think this is a problem here, as server defaults are just a sane default if you need to use all levels.
At least thats what they were designed for back then when we had the discussion with Jan.

For the settings component the design is different, so app developer have to style their headings.

@susnux not sure I'm following. Do developers need to make sure they are using the correct heading level manually? That seems fine?

EDIT IGNORE ME I was thinking this is about settings section not in app settings.

Do developers need to make sure they are using the correct heading level manually?

If they have custom content sure, but not for the component.
Meaning you must not use a <h1> inside NcSettingsSection as this will break page semantics.
<h2> only in limited use cases (I do not know any of them because any <h2> is basically a new <NcSettingsSection>.

So speaking developers have to limit their custom content to h3 or higher heading level (4,5,6).
