How to control header tags when compiling to HTML?

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS

It appears that in Scrivener 3 using the default “Heading 2” style produces automatically an

tag when compiling to HTML. In Scrivener 2 “Sub-heading” produced

. How can you control the heading tag output? How can I assign a specific tag, say

The screenshot shows the Compile format editor editing the HTML export options. You can make section layouts that have a specific header level for each layout. In this case “Heading 3”. These section layouts can be applied to your different sections (applied in compile, defined in your Project Settings).

You can also export styles with specific style names and do some overrides there, but I’d try the section layouts first.

Excellent. Thank you @nontroppo. I created a new format but missed “Edit format…” A bit tricky to set up but “all” sorted now. Must say, the new compile settings do seem powerful.
