Although reading back your additional description is indeed slightly confusing…

Edit – in retrospect I think I may have misunderstood altogether. Is your question maybe if HTML/CSS can recognise the content of a h element? In that case the answer would be negative. Then again, simplest way would be to give them a common class and style that.

But maybe you could elaborate a bit more on the expected result.

My suggestion above would be a nice alternative for the example page though.

Second edit – this might be an approach too:
