The user wants me to reformat a job posting into clean, well-structured semantic HTML. I need to follow the rules: 1. Use

for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule) 2. Use
  • for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose 3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading 4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it 5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail 6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions 7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text 8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them 9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones 10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences Let me analyze the content: The posting has: - Summary (description of the role) - Qualifications (Basic Requirements, Grade Determinations, Experience, Demonstrated KSAs, Preferred Experience and Certifications, Reference, Physical Requirements) - Duties (clinical social worker duties, Program Coordination Responsibilities, Clinical Service Responsibilities) - Work Schedule, Telework, Travel, Virtual, PCS information I need to organize this into appropriate sections. The user mentioned section headings like "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". I should use these where appropriate. Looking at the content: - "Summary" could be "About the role" - "Qualifications" section has multiple subsections: Basic Requirements, Grade Determinations, Experience, Demonstrated KSAs, Preferred Experience and Certifications, Physical Requirements - "Duties" could be "Responsibilities" with subsections for clinical duties, program coordination, clinical service - Work Schedule, Telework, Travel, Virtual, PCS could go under "Schedule" or similar I should not create sections for Pay or Benefits since they're not mentioned. Let me structure:

    About the role

    Summary text...

    Qualifications

    Basic Requirements

    • ...

    Grade Determinations

    In addition to the basic requirements...

    Experience

    • ...

    Demonstrated Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

    • ...

    Preferred Experience and Certifications

    • ...

    Physical Requirements

    Schedule

    Work Schedule: Monday - Friday, 8am to 4:30pm - May vary depending on deployment and/or assigned facility needs

    Telework: Not Available

    Travel: Up to 50% may be required

    Virtual: This is not a virtual position

    Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Not Authorized

    I need to use

    for main sections, and maybe

    for subsections? The instructions say "use

    for section headings". It doesn't mention

    . But the example includes "About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule". So maybe only

    for top-level sections. However, the content has subsections. I could use

    for each subsection as well, but that might be too many. The instruction: "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid using

    for subsections. But "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine some. I'll use

    for main sections: About the role, Qualifications, Responsibilities, Schedule. Within Qualifications, I'll use

    for subsections? But the instruction says only

    for section headings. It doesn't mention

    . However, HTML allows

    . The instruction might imply only use

    for headings, but that would be weird for subsections. I think using

    is fine as long as I don't create too many thin sections. But to be safe, I'll use

    for all headings, but group related content. Alternatively, I can make each subsection a separate

    section. That might be okay. Let me decide: I'll use

    for each distinct section: About the role, Basic Requirements, Grade Determinations, Experience, Demonstrated Knowledge Skills and Abilities, Preferred Experience and Certifications, Physical Requirements, Clinical Social Work Duties, Program Coordination Responsibilities, Clinical Service Responsibilities, Schedule. That's many sections but each has substantive content. But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Basic Requirements, Grade Determinations, Experience, KSAs, Preferred, Physical into one "Qualifications" section with subheadings using

    ? The instruction doesn't forbid

    . It says "use

    for section headings". It doesn't say "only use

    ". I think using

    for subsections is acceptable. I'll do:

    About the role

    ...

    Qualifications

    Basic Requirements

      ...

    Grade Determinations

    ...

    Experience

      ...

    Demonstrated Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

      ...

    Preferred Experience and Certifications

      ...

    Physical Requirements

    ...

    Responsibilities

    Clinical Social Work Duties

      ...

    Program Coordination Responsibilities

      ...

    Clinical Service Responsibilities

      ...

    Schedule

    ...

    That seems good. Now, I need to extract the content exactly, preserving all substantive information. Let me parse the input text. First, "Summary The clinical social work responsibilities for this position are conducted primarily in community settings in conjunction with police encounters - correctional facilities - including county jails - work release centers - and local criminal justice courts.
