or drop it." Opening/Closing dates are minor metadata; we can include a short p at top maybe. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the dates somewhere, maybe in a p before sections. Also location info: City, State Location Trenton, TN, Department Children's Services, LOCATION OF (1) POSITION(S) TO BE FILLED: DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN'S SERVICES, GIBSON COUNTY. That's location info. Should we keep? It's substantive. Could be placed in a p. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to ensure we don't include Benefits section if not present. No benefits mentioned. So omit Benefits.
Pay: we have salary monthly and annually. Provide that.
Schedule: we have flexible hours etc.
Now craft HTML.
Start with maybe a p containing Opening/Closing dates and location? Could combine.
We'll output:
Opening: 09/14/2026 12:00AM CT – Closing: 09/20/2026 11:59PM CT. Location: Trenton, TN (Department of Children's Services, Gibson County).

Now ensure we preserve all substantive information: Overview text, responsibilities list (many items). Need to copy responsibilities exactly as given, but we can split into list items. Must not lose any detail.
Let's extract responsibilities paragraph:

We need to split into sensible list items. Could keep as one long paragraph? But instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Responsibilities is a list of duties, so we should break into items. We can split by sentences.
We'll produce each sentence as
- . Ensure we keep all content.
