We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Summary, Qualifications, Duties, Work Schedule, etc. We must use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have Summary (could be About the role). Qualifications section present. Duties (Responsibilities). Work Schedule (Schedule). No explicit Pay or Benefits. No Skills separate but KSAs could be Skills. We could put Knowledge - Skills and Abilities (KSAs) as Skills section. Also maybe Requirements (citizenship, education, endorsement, certification) could be Requirements. But we already have Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map: Summary -> About the role. Qualifications -> Qualifications. Duties -> Responsibilities. KSAs -> Skills. Work Schedule -> Schedule. Requirements maybe part of Qualifications but we could also have Requirements separate if we want. However we must not repeat content. We can embed citizenship etc inside Qualifications. The Qualifications section already includes basic requirements etc. So we can keep Qualifications heading and include that content. For Skills we include KSAs. For Schedule we include work schedule details. For Responsibilities we include Duties. For About the role we include Summary. We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some like "Reference: For more information on this qualification standard - please visit https://www.va.gov/ohrm/QualificationStandards/" That's maybe okay but it's reference; we can keep as part of Qualifications? It's not boilerplate but it's a reference link; we can keep. Also "Physical Requirements:" is present; we could include under Requirements or Qualifications? It's not a heading we have but we could embed in Qualifications or maybe a separate Requirements section. Since we have Requirements heading, we could put citizenship, education, endorsement, certification, physical requirements there. But Qualifications already includes those. To avoid duplication, we could treat Qualifications as the main qualifications and maybe not have separate Requirements. However the instruction says we can use those headings; we need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We have content for Qualifications, Responsibilities, Skills, Schedule, About the role. That's enough. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Thus we need to convert lists into

    • . The Duties list is a long paragraph with many duties separated by line breaks? It's a paragraph with many duties separated by line breaks? Actually it's a paragraph with many duties separated by line breaks? The text: "Major duties include but may not be limited to the following: Providing comprehensive - religious ministry services to Veteran patients according to their specific needs and desires Carries out a ministry which is highly integrated into VHA's Chaplain program Provides thorough guidance and advice to Chaplain Service management staff - other Chaplains - and other stakeholders May serve at a facility in a clinical setting - or a small healthcare system - satellite outpatient clinic - other federal agency - or Community Based Out-patient Clinic (CBOC) where there is limited access to onsite supervision Provides extended and intensive pastoral counseling as an integral part of the treatment program with patients facing complex - ethical - moral - and spiritual issues Ensures program effectiveness and modification of service pattern - which includes research and leadership of clinical teams Practices typically in a specialized clinic/program area - that may include intensive and extended pastoral counseling as an integral part of the treatment program - with patients facing complex moral - ethical - or spiritual problems Serves as a Chaplain representative and a fully recognized member of an interdisciplinary treatment team (IDT) Advises and collaborates with other members of the IDT to provide comprehensive healthcare services to Veterans Works with a full understanding of Chaplains' relationships to the objectives of VHA to successfully integrate the work of the medical facility's staff Collaborates with and advises the other members of the IDT in the provision of comprehensive healthcare services to Veterans Maintains effective rapport with physicians - medical officers - psychologists - nurses - therapists - social workers - or others involved with the IDT Ensures equity of access - service - and benefits to Veterans and provides the highest quality of care Provides leadership - direction - orientation - coaching - in-service training - staff development - and continuing education programs Serves as a primary Chaplain resource - spiritual advisor - and liaison for the spiritual needs of patients - caregivers - and staff Conducts comprehensive religious services and worship - pastoral ministry - and administration of Chaplain services Engages as a spiritual leader - a compassionate listener - and counselor - especially during times of crisis Provides emotional support and counseling using empathy and strong interpersonal skills to effectively connect with people of all ages Provides thorough spiritual leadership - offers prayers - and provides overall religious services for Veteran patients - patient families - staff - and community Conducts rituals before groups of people - which requires effective leadership and public speaking skills Uses sound guidance and advice to lead prayer and religious services Addresses the religious - spiritual - moral - and ethical problems of patients and staff Provides effective counseling services to patients and staff Conducts regular rounds of hospital wards where patients are critically ill Ministers to newly admitted - pre- and post-operative patients - the critically ill - and the families of concerned Veteran patients Provides advance care planning education - information - and counsel for patients and their families Provides pastoral ministry to patients with respect to the patient's faith group - including conscientious attention during emergencies and crises Builds strong interpersonal relationships with patients and ensures all patients are provided opportunities for the free exercise of religion Ascertains Veterans are protected from proselytizing and coercing from any source Provides chaplain service expertise to exchange information relative to the background and current condition of patients Supervises - trains - and coaches volunteer groups who offer their services as assistants Provides expert guidance and advice to other VHA Chaplains as needed Serves as professional clinical Chaplain in specialty clinics such as Inpatient/Outpatient Mental Health - Inpatient/Outpatient Substance Use Disorder Clinics - Hospice - and Palliative Care - Grief and Bereavement Clinics - Women's Health Clinics - Cancer Treatment Centers - Spinal Cord/Polytrauma units - Pain clinics - Infectious Disease Clinics - Whole Health Clinics/Programs - etc Engages in group consultative discussions or conferences with these professionals to provide Chaplain related input to collaborate on the evaluation and review of the patient's progress" We need to split each duty into
    • . The duties are separated by line breaks? In the text they appear as sentences separated by spaces? Actually after colon, each duty starts with capital letter and ends before next capital? Hard to parse. We could treat each sentence as a duty. We'll split by periods that are followed by space and capital letter? Simpler: we can just put the whole block as a

      but instruction says use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to make a list. We'll approximate by splitting on "Provides" maybe? Better to manually enumerate each duty as separate
