We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually job summary includes core values etc. We need to decide sections based on content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content. We have: - Job Summary: core values, maybe "About the role" could be used for description of role? The posting includes "Job Summary Salem Police Department Core Values: Collaboration | Honor | Integrity | Compassion". That's more about department values. Could be "About the role" or "About the department". We'll use "About the role" heading and include that paragraph. - Salary and Pay details: we have Salary Step table with hourly and monthly rates, plus incentives. So we need a Pay section with that info. Also maybe Benefits section: medical, dental, vision, PERS, vacation, sick time, 457b, FSA, long-term care, wellness, EAP, health clinic, free parking, gym. So Benefits section. - Requirements/Qualifications: Minimum qualifications list, certifications/licenses, disqualifiers. Could combine into Requirements or Qualifications. We'll have a Requirements section (or Qualifications). Since we have both minimum qualifications and certifications/licenses and disqualifiers. We'll put them under Requirements. - Hiring Process details: maybe "Application Process"? But we are told to remove application instructions. So we should omit hiring process details? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove hiring process details (application instructions). However we might keep some info like "Hiring Process" if it's not just instructions? It includes details about tests, deadlines, etc. That could be considered application instructions. Safer to remove. - About Us: department description, location, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the department". We already used About the role for core values. Could add more about department under same heading or maybe a separate "About the department". But we only have allowed headings list; we could use "About the role" to encompass both core values and department description. Or we could have "About the role" for core values and "About the department" not allowed. So we keep About the role with both. - Benefits: we have. - Pay: we have. - Schedule: not mentioned explicitly (no schedule details). So omit. - Responsibilities: not listed; we could omit. - Skills: not listed; omit. Thus output HTML with sections: About the role, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. We need to use

for each heading, then content:

for prose,

  • for lists. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are not boilerplate. Let's extract: About the role: core values: Collaboration | Honor | Integrity | Compassion. Also department description: "The Salem Police Department is the 4th largest agency in the State of Oregon. We are a full-service department to include many special teams. Our new facility is a 104,000 square foot building with many amenities for employees to include an indoor/outdoor breakroom, and a work-out room/locker room. The City of Salem is the second largest City in the State of Oregon. Located in the lush Willamette Valley, Salem is the capital city of Oregon with a population over 180,000. Centrally located, Salem is 47 miles south of Portland and an hour from the Cascade Mountains to the east and an hour from the ocean beaches to the west. Salem is an exceptional community for living and working with exciting new and comfortable well-established neighborhoods and carefully preserved historic buildings. A Full-service City, Salem Has Eight Primary Departments Community Services, Finance, Fire, Enterprise Services, Legal, Police, Public Works, and Community Planning and Development. Several departments also have functional divisions within their department. The City has five labor unions and employs roughly 1,350 talented and dedicated staff members. The Urban Renewal Agency and the Salem Housing Authority are separate municipal corporations. The Agency contracts with the City for services and the Authority is led by the Housing Administrator within the Community Planning and Development department." We can include that as prose.

It's part of benefits description; we can keep phrase but maybe drop the link as it's not substantive? It's a reference; we can keep "The City offers an excellent compensation and benefits package which can be found by clicking here." Might be considered boilerplate? It's not exactly boilerplate; it's a statement. We'll keep as prose. Pay: - Salary Step table: Step 1 to Step 6 plus Longevity Rate? Actually table shows Step 1-6 and Longevity Rate? The table includes Step 1-6 and Longevity Rate? It shows Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Longevity Rate then Hourly Rate and Monthly Rate rows. So we need to present that. We also have incentives: - Certifications, Training, & College Incentives 2% - 10% - Extra Duty/Specialized Assignment Incentive 2.5% - 5% - Bi-Lingual Incentive 5% - Full List of Incentives Collective Bargaining Agreement We should include those as part of Pay section. We need to format as
    • for list items. For the table, we could present as a list or as a ? The instruction only mentions using
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

        for prose. It doesn't forbid using . But to be safe, we could present the pay info as a list: each step with hourly and monthly rates. Or we could keep a simple table. Since not prohibited, we can use . However the instruction says "Use

        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

          for prose." It doesn't say we cannot use tables for other data. I'd use a for clarity. We'll output:
