(And, in case anyone is confused, most certainly did not work then and didn't for years. And is still dicey for images for Kindle today, too, but...)
Given the significant, nay, sea-changes in eBook formatting since 2014, personally, I'd be seeking more up-to-date info, but, hey, that's just me.

Since we can recreate the behavior of these tags easily through the use of specially styled paragraphs, I usually prefer going that route.
A replacement of the H1 tag, for example, could look like this.
<p class="h1">This is a large headline</p>
By using an appropriate style for the paragraph class we can now give it the size, font and weight we desire. |
