Large Print Display option?
I am working on a Drupal 10 site with a Bootstrap 5 (Barrio) custom theme. I have some older followers who would find it easier to view the site if the type was larger. I want to provide a large-print option for them. Is there a way (such as a user-selectable option) to accomplish this through the theme?
It looks as if "Userway" is an option, but it is expensive and offers several features that I don't need.

Accessibility is often overlooked or bolted on to the end of a project from the experiences in my career in web development and design. The case for accessibility is something we as people who create and build things for the web should be implementing and advocating for disabled users from the inception of a project to the release or handoff and beyond.

Views "group by" heading hardcoded as h3
Does anyone know whether there's any reason why, when "group by" is used in a view, the headings for the at least the first grouping are formatted as h3?
This can cause accessibility issues, because the page the view is on may not have any h2 headings or the view itself may be under a h3 heading.
An issue was created on d.o more than 10 years ago, but the only solution seems to be overriding templates.

I didn't see any explanation there for why Views still does this.
