We need to output HTML with headings for each section. Use
for each section. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We have two sections: Responsibilities and Requirements (could include education, experience, skills, physical). Could also separate Skills but not needed.
We'll create:
Responsibilities
with each duty as - . Might be long but okay.
Requirements
with sub-items? Could nest but spec says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have top-level
with each requirement as - . For experience and physical we could have sublists but still
- . Could embed
inside - but that's okay.
We must not invent placeholders. All content must be preserved.
