Job Description

We need to output cleaned semantic HTML. The input is raw HTML with many

tags with style attributes, tags,

  • etc. We need to preserve all original content word-for-word, but format as clean semantic HTML: use

    for introductory paragraphs and general text,

    for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). Use
    • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
      , no
      . Must preserve all original content word-for-word—do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. So we need to convert the given HTML into semantic HTML while preserving text exactly. We must remove style attributes, but keep the text. Also need to convert tags that act as section headers into

      . The content includes many bold headings: "SCOPE OF WORK:", "The Supply Chain Coordinator will:", "SPECIFIC DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:", then subheadings like "Supply Chain Planning", "Procurement Management", "Inventory Management", "Assets Management", "Logistics and Fleet Management", "Compliance and Ethics", "Staff Management and Development:", "Pharmaceutical Supply Chain", "Construction Management". Also there is introductory paragraphs before SCOPE OF WORK. We need to wrap introductory paragraphs in

      . Then for each bold heading, we need to decide if it's a section header. According to instruction: Use

      for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). The headings in the text are not exactly those but they are section headings. Likely we should treat any bold line that is a heading as

      . Also subheadings like "Supply Chain Planning" etc could be

      as well? They are also bold. The instruction says use

      for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications...). It doesn't forbid using for other headings. Probably we should convert all headings to

      . However note that some bold text appears inside sentences like "The Supply Chain Coordinator will:" which is a heading for a list. That should be

      . Also "SPECIFIC DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:" is a heading. We also need to convert list items: currently they are
      • ...

      . We need to keep the
      • but remove the inner

        tags? The instruction: Use

        • for list items. It didn't say we cannot have

          inside

        • . But to be clean, we could keep the text inside
        • without extra

          . However we must preserve all original content word-for-word. If we remove the

          tags inside

        • , we are removing tags, which is altering content. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. That likely refers to the textual content, not the markup. We can change markup as long as we keep the text. Removing inner

          tags is altering markup but not text. That's allowed because we are to output clean semantic HTML. So we can strip unnecessary tags like style attributes, , and inner

          inside

        • . Also we need to remove empty

          tags. We must not add any new text. So we need to output only the text content, wrapped in appropriate tags. Let's extract the text. First, we have:

          The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster.
