We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Salary Schedule: Placement based on education and credited experience. Pending any course assignment, initial placement can range as follows: Lab Course (Salary Schedule HB) - $96.48 up to $141.63 per hour. Lecture Course (Salary Schedule HC) - $112.32 up to $163.39 per hour. Thus we have Pay info: ranges per hour for Lab and Lecture courses. - Duties And Responsibilities: list of duties. - Knowledge Of Employment Standards (acquired through education, training, and/or experience) – seems like qualifications? Actually it's knowledge required. - Skills And Abilities: list of skills. - Job Requirements: educational requirements and equivalency details. - Benefits: Academic employees participate in STRS etc. - Additional Information: FLSA Status, Months Per Year, Safety, etc. Might be schedule? Months Per Year: Semester assignments as needed. That could be schedule info. - Also there is "Closes: 06/30/2027" and application instructions – we should drop application instructions and boilerplate. - Also there is EEO statement, Annual Security Report, etc – drop. - Also "Work Demands" etc – maybe not needed? Could be part of Responsibilities? But it's more about demands; we could include under Responsibilities? Probably not needed; but we can include if substantive. However we need to avoid filler. The Work Demands section is detailed but maybe we can include under Responsibilities? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings. We have: - About the role: maybe a brief summary? Not explicitly present. Could combine introductory sentences? The posting starts with "Salary Schedule: ..." then "Duties And Responsibilities". There's no explicit "About the role". Could we create About the role from the first paragraph? The first paragraph is about salary schedule. That's Pay. So maybe we skip About the role if no content. But we could treat "Salary Schedule" as Pay section. - Responsibilities: from "Duties And Responsibilities" and also the detailed duty bullet points (like "Teach with significant ability..." etc). Also the detailed course descriptions (Contemporary Modern Dance, Dance Composition, etc.) are part of duties. - Requirements: educational requirements (Job Requirements) plus equivalency details. - Qualifications: maybe the "Knowledge Of Employment Standards" and "Skills And Abilities"? Actually Skills And Abilities is separate. Qualifications could be the knowledge/experience needed (like "Contemporary modern dance and choreography at the college or high school level..." etc). That seems like qualifications. - Skills: from "Skills And Abilities". - Benefits: from Benefits paragraph. - Schedule: from "Months Per Year: Semester assignments as needed". Also maybe FLSA Status Exempt? Not schedule. Could include schedule. - Pay: from Salary Schedule. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual numbers. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, Annual Security Report, Closes, application instructions, safety? Safety maybe part of Responsibilities? But safety is a generic statement; we could drop as boilerplate? It's about reporting unsafe conditions; could be considered part of responsibilities but it's generic. Might be okay to drop. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Thus we need to include all substantive content: salary ranges, duties list, knowledge requirements, skills list, job requirements (education/equivalency), benefits, schedule (semester assignments as needed). Also maybe FLSA Status? Could be considered part of Additional Information but not schedule; maybe we can include under "About the role"? Not needed. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce sections as needed. Let's extract content precisely. Salary Schedule: "Placement on the adjunct faculty salary schedule is based upon education and credited experience. Pending any course assignment, initial placement can range as follows: Lab Course (Salary Schedule HB) - $96.48 up to $141.63 per hour. Lecture Course (Salary Schedule HC) - $112.32 up to $163.39 per hour." We'll put that in
