Job Description
for paragraphs,
for section headers, - for list items. Must preserve original content word-for-word, no additions, no removals. The input already contains HTML tags like
, ,
, bullet characters etc. We need to transform to required HTML: use for paragraphs,
for section headers, - for list items. No CSS classes, no inline styles, no , no
. Must preserve all original content word-for-word. That means we cannot remove any text, but we can change tags. However we must not add or remove any content. So we need to keep the exact same textual content, but re-tag appropriately.
We have to parse the given job description text (which currently includes HTML tags). We need to output only HTML with ,
, - . No other tags like ,
. But we must preserve the content word-for-word, meaning we cannot drop the tags or
tags because that would be removing content? The instruction: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". If we remove tags, we are removing markup, but the textual content inside remains. Does that count as removing content? Likely they refer to textual content, not markup. However they also say "Use for introductory paragraphs and general text", "Use
for section headers", "Use - for list items". They also say "No CSS classes, no inline styles, no s, no
tags". So we must strip out
and etc. That is allowed because they are not part of the desired output tags. The requirement to preserve original content word-for-word likely refers to the visible text, not the markup. So we can drop and
and replace with appropriate tags.
Thus we need to produce HTML where:
- Paragraphs: wrap in .
- Section headers: use
. Identify section headers in the text: they appear as bolded lines like "Sanctions Screening & Alert Management", "Investigations & Risk Assessment", etc. Also earlier there is "Sanctions Screening & Alert Management" etc. Also there is "If you feel that you are up to the challenge..." which is not a section header but a paragraph. Also there is "Sanctions Screening & Alert Management" appears again later as a header.
Also there is "Reporting to the Senior Manager Sanctions & Compliance"? Actually the first paragraph: "Reporting to the Senior Manager Sanctions & Compliance, The Sanctions & Compliance Analyst is responsible..." That's a sentence with strong inside. Not a section header.
We need to identify all section headers: They are lines that are bold and end with no period? Let's list:
- Sanctions Screening & Alert Management
- Investigations & Risk Assessment
- Regulatory Compliance & Governance
- Case Management & Documentation
- Training & Continuous Improvement
- Monitoring, Controls & Testing
- Sanctions List & Blacklist Management
- Stakeholder Engagement & Advisory
- Health and Safety
Also earlier there is maybe "If you feel that you are up to the challenge..." not a header.
Also there is "Reporting to the Senior Manager Sanctions & Compliance" maybe not a header.
Also there is "Sanctions Screening & Alert Management" appears again later as header.
Also there is "Health and Safety" header.
Thus we need to convert each of those bolded lines into
tags.
List items: The bullet points are indicated by "• " etc. Also there are bullet points under each section header preceded by bold header and then lines starting with "•". Also there is a list of qualifications earlier: bullet points with "• " before each qualification.
Thus we need to wrap each group of bullet points under a header in - . Also the qualifications list before the "If you feel..." paragraph is also a list.
We must preserve the exact text of each bullet point, including the bullet character? The bullet is "•". Should we keep it? Usually we would replace bullet with
- and drop the bullet character. But preserving original content word-for-word might require we keep the bullet character inside
- . However typical approach: we keep the bullet as part of the li content. The instruction: "Use
- for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills)". It doesn't say to strip the bullet. So we can keep the bullet character inside
- . But we must also remove the leading "• " maybe? If we keep it, the li will start with that bullet and spaces. That's okay.
We also need to handle line breaks: original text uses
tags to separate lines. We should not use
. Instead we should separate into or
- as appropriate.
Thus we need to parse the input and produce HTML accordingly.
Given the complexity, we can manually construct the output based on the input.
Let's extract the textual content ignoring tags but preserving spaces and punctuation.
Better approach: Convert the given HTML to plain text, then reapply tags based on patterns. But we must ensure we don't lose any text.
Let's copy the input and manually rewrite.
