We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. Must not repeat job title. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Date: Sep 2, 2026 (maybe not needed) - Location: AUSTIN, TX, US, 78751 - Agency: Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) - Benefits: comprehensive benefits package includes 100% paid employee health insurance for full-time eligible employees, a defined benefit pension plan, generous time off benefits, numerous opportunities for career advancement and more. Also mention "Explore more details on the Benefits of Working at HHS webpage." So we have benefits content. - Functional Title: Programmer III (same as job title) - Job Title: Programmer III - Agency: Health & Human Services Comm - Department: Medi-Social Serv Apl Dev - Posting Number: 20887 (metadata, drop) - Closing Date: 09/16/2026 (metadata) - Posting Audience: Internal and External (metadata) - Occupational Category: Computer and Mathematical (maybe part of qualifications) - Salary Range: $5,425.33 - $8,886.16 (Pay) - Pay Frequency: Monthly - Salary Group: TEXAS-B-24 - Shift: Day - Additional Shift Telework: Travel (maybe schedule) - Regular/Temporary: Regular - Full Time/Part Time: Full time - FLSA Exempt/Non-Exempt: Exempt - Facility Location: Job Location City: AUSTIN - Job Location Address: 701 W 51ST ST - Other Locations: MOS Codes: ...

(boilerplate) - Active Duty... (boilerplate) - ADA Accommodations (boilerplate) - Pre-Employment Checks... (boilerplate) - Telework Disclaimer (maybe schedule/telework) - Nearest Major Market: Austin (location) We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Review our Tips for Success", "Active Duty...", "ADA Accommodations", "Pre-Employment Checks", "Telework Disclaimer" maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Telework disclaimer maybe not exactly those categories but could be considered boilerplate? However telework info could be relevant to Schedule or Benefits? It says "This position may be eligible for telework. Please note, all HHS positions are subject to state and agency telework policies..." That's somewhat generic but still specific about telework eligibility. Might keep as part of Schedule or maybe a note. But we should keep substantive info: telework eligibility. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Potential sections: - About the role: could use the Brief Job Description paragraph. - Responsibilities: Essential Job Functions (EJFs) list. - Requirements: maybe Initial Screening Criteria (education/experience) plus maybe Occupational Category? Could be Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (KSAs) split into Skills and Knowledge? But we have separate Skills section allowed. Could put KSAs under Skills (or Knowledge). The instruction: Use headings like Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have Skills section for KSAs (knowledge, skills, abilities). Could also have Qualifications for education/experience. - Benefits: we have benefits paragraph. - Pay: Salary Range and Pay Frequency. - Schedule: Shift, Full time, Telework eligibility maybe. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual data. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:
