Job Description

. Must preserve all original content word-for-word, no addition, removal, summarizing, rephrasing. However we need to remove duplicate sections? The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. But earlier we were told to remove duplicate text (if the title appears multiple times, keep it once). There's a conflict: The first part (job listing editor) said remove duplicate text. The second part (format as clean semantic HTML) says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Which instruction takes precedence? The latest user message says: "You receive a plain-text job description. Your ONLY job is to format it as clean semantic HTML." Then rules: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". So we must keep everything exactly as given, including duplicates. However we also need to convert to HTML tags, preserving text. We must not remove anything. So we need to output HTML that contains the same text, but with appropriate tags: for paragraphs,
for section headers, - for list items.
We need to parse the given raw text (which includes HTML tags already). The input includes some HTML with style attributes etc. We need to strip those? The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. That suggests we should not remove any characters, including the existing HTML tags? But we are to output clean semantic HTML, using only
,
, - . So we likely need to ignore the existing markup and treat the raw text as plain text, then apply our own tags based on semantic meaning. However preserving original content word-for-word means we cannot change the text itself, but we can wrap it in tags. The existing markup like
etc should be removed because we are not allowed to use inline styles or divs. But if we remove them, we are removing original content (the style attributes). That would violate "preserve ALL original content word-for-word". However the instruction also says "No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
s, no
tags". So we must strip those attributes. This is a conflict.
We need to decide which instruction overrides. Usually in such tasks, the later instruction (format as clean semantic HTML) takes precedence, and we must obey the rules: no inline styles, etc. So we should strip the existing HTML tags and attributes, and produce our own semantic HTML. The phrase "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word" likely refers to the textual content, not the markup. So we should keep the exact words, but we can change formatting.
Thus we need to extract the plain text from the given input, then wrap paragraphs in , section headers in
, lists in - . We must not add or remove any words.
Let's extract the plain text.

We should treat each ...: as a header and wrap in

Thus we need to extract the plain text of each list item (the sentence) and wrap in

We also need to handle empty paragraphs () - they should become ? Probably we can keep them as empty tags. But they add no content; we could keep them.

Also there is a

We also have a inside the cookies link. We need to remove the style attribute.
Thus final HTML will contain tags with href and target attributes but no inline styles. That's allowed? The rule didn't forbid tags. It only forbids CSS classes, inline styles,

etc should be removed because we are not allowed to use inline styles or divs. But if we remove them, we are removing original content (the style attributes). That would violate "preserve ALL original content word-for-word". However the instruction also says "No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
tags". So we must strip those attributes. This is a conflict. We need to decide which instruction overrides. Usually in such tasks, the later instruction (format as clean semantic HTML) takes precedence, and we must obey the rules: no inline styles, etc. So we should strip the existing HTML tags and attributes, and produce our own semantic HTML. The phrase "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word" likely refers to the textual content, not the markup. So we should keep the exact words, but we can change formatting. Thus we need to extract the plain text from the given input, then wrap paragraphs in
