How can we edit the style of the Pages widget? For example, we use Format 2, which presents two issues:
1. All of the headings (i.e. page titles) are H4; we would like them to be H2 if they are to remain tagged as a heading, as they follow the H1 page title. This also follows CivicPlus guidlines to "Use subhead1, subhead2, and bolding in a hierarchical manner" and "Section headings should be used to organize the content, therefore, subhead1, subhead2, and bolding in a hierarchical manner to be compliant with WCAG Level AAA.
2. The page titles are not underlined, breaking from convention across the rest of our site.
We do not use Format 1 as the text for each link is just "Link to page," which presents its own accessibility issues and is in contrast to CivicPlus' Links Best Practices
