I want H2 only

You can select 'H2 Only' in Target Levels.

How are anchor names determined?

The anchor generation rules for this tool are listed. You can manually edit the output to fine-tune it for your environment.

What about duplicate headings?

If multiple identical headings exist, sequential numbers like -2, -3 are added to avoid anchor duplication (e.g., #faq-2).
