Release 1.4 - February 15, 2023

Hid the section identity UI since the breadcrumbs are functioning properly, but kept the hidden section identity in the DOM to be picked up by site search.
- Switched headers (h1-h6) to use the Gellix marketing font from the One Jack Henry styling. We were already using Gellix throughout the jhDocs chrome, we just extended it to text headers as well.
