for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Also remove "Complete Application Materials Include ..."? That's application instructions, should be removed. Also "This position will remain open until filled..." remove. Also "This posting is for 2 open FT positions." maybe keep? It's substantive? Might be considered metadata but not heading. Could be placed in a short paragraph.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details like number of positions (2 FT). Also Faculty Commitments To Student Success (list). Also Course Description. Also Duties And Responsibilities (list). Also Professional Responsibilities. Also Compliance. Also Other Duties As Needed. Also Supervisory Responsibility. Also Requirements sections.
We need to avoid duplication. We'll need to parse content and produce concise but preserve all details. However we cannot invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That means we cannot omit details; we must keep them. But we can combine similar items? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can group related items under sections but must keep all details.
Thus we need to output HTML with sections like:
About the Role
maybe includes position title? But we cannot repeat job title as heading. Could include a short paragraph describing role: "Nursing Instructor FT Faculty position..." etc.
But we need to include Course Description etc.
Let's outline sections:

- Responsibilities (Teaching and Student Success, Clinical Environment Supervision, Professional Responsibilities, Compliance, Other Duties As Needed, Supervisory Responsibility)
- Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Additional Requirements)
- Knowledge, Skills, Abilities (maybe combine with Qualifications? But we have separate heading "Knowledge, Skills, Abilities And Personal Qualifications". Could be a section.
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
Now we need to extract all details.
