Job Description

We need to output clean semantic HTML according to rules. Input is already HTML with some tags, but we need to reformat using only

,

,
  • . No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
    , no
    . Must preserve all original content word-for-word, do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. So we need to extract the text content and wrap appropriately. We must remove any existing tags like , , , etc., because they are not allowed? The rules say use only

    ,

    ,
    • . No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
      s, no
      tags. It doesn't explicitly forbid other tags like , , , but likely we should strip them to keep only allowed tags. However "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". That means we cannot remove characters like tags because they are part of original content. But we are to output HTML; if we keep tags, that would be adding tags not allowed? The instruction says use

      for introductory paragraphs and general text, use

      for section headers, use
      • for list items. It doesn't forbid other tags, but says "No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
        s, no
        tags". It doesn't say we cannot use or . However typical semantic HTML would avoid them. But to be safe, we could keep them as they are part of content. However the instruction "Use

        for introductory paragraphs and general text" suggests we should wrap paragraphs in

        . If there is already inside, we could keep it inside

        . That's okay. But we also need to convert section headers like "Key Responsibilities:" etc. Those are currently within

        Key Responsibilities:

        . We need to make them

        Key Responsibilities:

        . Similarly "MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES" etc. Also "KNOWLEDGE /QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE ROLE". Also "Preferred Knowledge and Qualifications". Also "Applicant Types Accepted:" maybe not a header but could be

        . Also the italic paragraph at end. We must preserve all original content word-for-word, meaning we cannot change the text inside tags. So we need to keep the exact same strings, just change surrounding tags. We also need to remove empty

        tags? They are original content; removing them would be removing content (empty paragraphs). The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Removing empty

        would be removing content (though it's empty). Might be considered removal. Safer to keep them? But they contribute nothing; but they are part of original text. However typical cleaning would drop them. The instruction ambiguous. I'd keep them as

        maybe. But we also need to ensure no
        , no
        . There are
        tags in "Local Applicants Only

        ". Those are
        tags, which we must not use. So we need to replace those with something else? We cannot use
        . We must preserve content word-for-word, but we cannot use
        tags. Conflict. The rule says "No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
        s, no
        tags". So we must not output
        tags. But we must preserve original content word-for-word. The original includes
        . If we cannot output
        , we must somehow represent line breaks without
        . Could we replace with a space? That would be altering content. Hmm. Maybe we interpret that we should strip out the
        tags because they are formatting artifacts, and we should preserve the textual content (the words) but not the tags. The earlier instruction about removing stray numbers or formatting artifacts might apply. In the first part (job listing editor) they said remove stray numbers or formatting artifacts. Here they say preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. That seems contradictory with removing
        . However maybe they consider
        as formatting artifact that should be removed, but they said preserve ALL original content word-for-word. I'd lean to keep the textual content and ignore the
        tags, converting them to paragraph breaks. Thus we will treat
        as line break and convert to new paragraph or just space. Since we cannot use
        , we can just separate into

        tags. Thus "Local Applicants Only

        " becomes maybe a

        Local Applicants Only

        followed by empty

        ? But we cannot add extra paragraphs? We could just make a

        Local Applicants Only

        and then maybe a

        for the second
        . But that adds content (empty p). Might be okay. Better: treat consecutive
        as paragraph separator. So we output

        Local Applicants Only

        then maybe a

        for the second break. That adds an empty p which wasn't there originally (there were two
        after text). Actually original: "Local Applicants Only

        ". That's text then two line breaks. If we convert each
        to a new paragraph, we would have:

        Local Applicants Only

        . That adds two empty paragraphs after the text. But original had no empty paragraphs after the breaks; just line breaks. Hard. Given complexity, maybe we just remove the
        tags and keep the text as part of a paragraph. So "Local Applicants Only" stays in a paragraph. That removes the
        tags (formatting). I think that's acceptable. Thus we will strip all
        tags. Also need to strip , , tags? They are formatting; but they might be considered part of content. However we can keep them inside

        etc. The rule didn't forbid them. But to be safe, we can keep them. But we need to convert section headers to

        . Those headers currently have or . We'll need to keep the inner text exactly, but change the surrounding tag to

        . So we will extract the text inside those tags (including any inner formatting?) For example

        Key Responsibilities:

        . The inner text is "Key Responsibilities:" (with maybe colon). We'll output

        Key Responsibilities:

        . We'll drop the . That's removing formatting tags (). That's arguably removing content (the tags). But maybe acceptable as they are formatting. Similarly

        MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES

        -> inner text "MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES". Output

        MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES

        . Also

        KNOWLEDGE /QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE ROLE

        ->

        KNOWLEDGE /QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE ROLE

        . Also maybe "Applicant Types Accepted:" is within

        Applicant Types Accepted:

        . That could be a

        or just

        . It's not a standard section header but we could treat as

        or keep as

        . The instruction: Use

        for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). "Applicant Types Accepted:" is not listed, but could be considered a header. Safer to keep as

        . Now we need to preserve lists: there are many

        • already. We'll keep them as is, but ensure no extra attributes. We also need to ensure we don't have stray

          inside lists etc. We'll produce final HTML with only

          ,

          ,
            ,
          • . We'll keep any existing
            • as is. We'll also need to handle the italic paragraph at end:

              World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organisation...

              . We'll keep inside

              maybe. Now let's extract the content sequentially. Original text:
