• . No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
  , no
  . Must preserve all original content word-for-word, no addition, removal, summarising, rephrase. So we need to convert the given HTML (with spans etc.) into plain text content, preserving content exactly, then wrap in appropriate tags. We must remove all styling tags and keep only text. Also need to preserve line breaks? We'll use

  for paragraphs. For list items, we need

  • . The original uses
    ordered lists. The instruction says use
    • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). It didn't forbid
      , but says use
      • for list items. Likely they want unordered lists. However they said preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Changing
        to
        would be a change (removing ordered list semantics). But they said use
        • for list items. This is a conflict. We need to decide which rule overrides. The instruction: "Use
          • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills)". That seems a requirement. Also "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". Changing ordered to unordered is a change but maybe acceptable as it's still same list items content. However they explicitly say use
            • . I'd follow that. Also need to use

              for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). In the text we have sections: "About DMI", "Job description", "Person specification", then subheadings "Required knowledge, skills and experience", "Desirable knowledge, skills and experience". Also there are bolded labels like "Reports to:", "Direct reports:", etc. Those are not section headers per the list; they are just fields. Should we treat them as paragraphs? Likely they remain as

              with bold removed. We need to strip all spans and styles, keep text. Also need to preserve links? The content includes tags. Should we preserve the link text and URL? The instruction: preserve ALL original content word-for-word. That includes the anchor tags? But we cannot use because they didn't forbid it. They only said use

              ,

              ,

              • . They didn't forbid other tags like . However they said "Use

                for introductory paragraphs and general text". They didn't say we cannot use other tags. But to be safe, we could keep tags as they are, preserving content. However they said no CSS classes, no inline styles, no

                s, no
                tags. is fine. We also need to remove empty paragraphs like

                 

                (non-breaking space). Those should be removed? They are empty content; preserving them would add extra blank lines. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. But those are just spaces; maybe we should keep them? However they'd produce empty

                tags which might be considered extra. Usually we would ignore them. But to strictly preserve, we could keep them as

                with a space? That seems messy. I think we can ignore truly empty paragraphs (only whitespace). The instruction about removing duplicate text etc. Not about empty. I'd remove empty paragraphs. We need to output only HTML, no explanation. Let's extract the textual content. Original text blocks: 1. Reports to: Country Manager 2. Direct reports: N/A 3.

All DMI employees will be required to self-declare prior issues of sexual (line break) or other misconduct, termination of past employment, criminal records, and concerns registered with government authorities regarding contact with children. (italic) We need to convert to HTML. We'll treat each distinct paragraph as

                . For headings: "About DMI", "Job description", "Person specification" maybe as

                . Also "Required knowledge, skills and experience" and "Desirable knowledge, skills and experience" could be

                as they are section headers. The instruction says use

                for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). So "About DMI" fits. "Job description" maybe not in list but could be considered a section header. "Person specification" maybe. "Required knowledge, skills and experience" is like Requirements. "Desirable knowledge, skills and experience" maybe also. We'll make those

                . The fields like Reports to:, Direct reports:, etc are not section headers; we keep as

                with bold removed. We need to preserve the content exactly, including punctuation. Let's construct. We'll start with

                Reports to: Country Manager

                Direct reports: N/A

                Start date: ASAP

                About DMI

                Then paragraph: Development Media International (DMI) delivers media campaigns aimed at changing behaviours, promoting health and saving lives in developing countries. We are the first organisation to scientifically demonstrate that mass media can increase life-saving behaviours (see the results of our RCT that proved our interventions can save thousands of children’s lives here). Note: original had two links: one to http://www.developmentmedia.net/ for DMI name, and another to the RCT. We need to preserve both. The DMI name is a link: Development Media International. So we need to include that. Thus paragraph: Development Media International (DMI) delivers media campaigns... Actually the original: "Development Media International (DMI) delivers media campaigns..." So the link is only around "Development Media International". So we keep that. Thus paragraph:

Next paragraph: DMI is ranked as one of the most cost-effective non-profit organisations in the world by The Life You Can Save. Note there is an underline tag around the period.

                Then

        . I see items numbered 1 to 8. Yes there are 8 items. I mistakenly thought 9. So we have 8 items. Thus we output
