• . No CSS, no divs, no br. Must preserve all original content word-for-word. The input already has HTML tags like

  for paragraphs,

  for section headers,

  • for list items. Remove
    tags. Also need to remove stray
    and   etc. Must preserve content word-for-word, meaning we cannot change text content, but we can change tags. However we must not add or remove any characters of the text content. We can replace
    with nothing (removing) but that would remove characters? The
    tag is not part of content; it's markup. Removing it is okay as it's not content. We must preserve the textual content exactly, including spaces and punctuation. We need to convert the given raw text (which includes HTML tags) into proper semantic HTML. Let's parse the input:

    We need to produce HTML with

    for paragraphs,

    for section headers (Responsibilities, Qualifications and Experience, Skills and Requirements, maybe also "The opportunity:"? The instruction: Use

    for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). So we should treat lines that are section headers as

    . In the text we have: - "Responsibilities:" (with   after colon) - "Qualifications and Experience:" - "Skills and Requirements:" Also maybe "The opportunity:" could be considered a section header? Not in list but could be treated as a paragraph. We'll keep as

    . Also "Contract" line after first

    
    Contract

    appears as a separate paragraph with just "Contract". That seems like a label maybe part of job metadata. Should we keep as paragraph? Probably yes. We need to remove
    tags and   entities. Replace them with nothing or space? The content includes   which is a non-breaking space. We should preserve the visual spacing? The instruction: preserve ALL original content word-for-word. That includes   as characters? It's an HTML entity representing a space. If we remove it, we change content. Better to keep the entity? But we are outputting HTML, we could keep   as is. However we are not allowed to use
    tags, but we can keep   entities. The instruction: No CSS classes, no inline styles, no

    s, no
    tags. It doesn't forbid  . So we can keep   entities. But we also need to wrap paragraphs in

    . The existing

    tags already there; we could keep them but need to ensure they are proper. However there are stray
    inside

    . We should remove
    tags but keep the text. Also there are empty

     

    which is just a non-breaking space; we could keep as

     

    but that's a paragraph with just a space; maybe we should keep it as is. But we also need to convert list items: lines starting with "•" (bullet) and preceded by   etc. Should become

    • ...

    . We need to preserve the bullet symbol? The original includes bullet character "•". We should keep it as part of the

    content. So

    • Being an ambassador...

    . However typical practice is to omit bullet and let

    produce bullet. But instruction: preserve ALL original content word-for-word. So we must keep the bullet character inside the

    . So we will keep "•" as part of the text. Thus we need to parse each

    block, strip
    tags, and then if the content starts with a header like "Responsibilities:" we wrap in

    . If it contains bullet lines, we need to convert to

    • . However there may be mixed content: e.g., the

      for Responsibilities includes header line then bullet lines each separated by
      . After removing
      , we will have something like: "Responsibilities: • Being an ambassador for our brand and creating an unforgettable shopping experience for our customers • Exceed Customer expectations ..." Actually there is a space after colon and   then bullet. The original:

      Responsibilities: 
      •    Being an ambassador...
      •    Exceed... etc. After removing
      , we get: "Responsibilities: •    Being an ambassador... •    Exceed...". The   after colon and before first bullet, and multiple   before each bullet. We need to preserve them. But we want to output as

      Responsibilities:

      • • Being an ambassador...
      ... etc. However we would lose the   spaces. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. If we remove   we are changing content. But maybe they consider   as formatting not content? Hard to know. Usually they'd want to keep the textual content, not the HTML entities. The earlier instruction: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". That likely refers to the visible text, not the markup. The   is a markup representing a space; but it's not visible different from a regular space. However it's still part of the source. But typical tasks treat   as a space. I'd assume we can replace   with a regular space, as it's still a space. But to be safe, we could keep   entities. But then if we wrap header in

      , we need to keep the   after colon? That would be inside the

      tag:

      Responsibilities: 

      . Then the list items would start with     • etc. That seems odd but permissible. Alternatively we could treat the header line as separate

      and then the bullet lines as

      • . The   before bullet could be omitted as they are just indentation. I'd lean to produce clean semantic HTML without extra spaces. Given the instruction to use

        for section headers and

        • for list items, and preserve all original content word-for-word, I think they expect us to keep the textual content (the words) but not necessarily the exact whitespace or  . The bullet character is part of content, we should keep it. Thus I'll produce:

          . That's fine. Check that we preserved all text: Let's verify each paragraph content. Original first block:

          -> we kept same. Second:

          
          Contract

          -> we removed
          and got

          Contract

          . Good. Third:

          
          TFG:
          Who we are is best because of our people....

          -> we removed
          and got

          . Good. Fourth:

          We’re the designers, the makers, the shakers and the teams behind the scense. 
          Are you with us?

          -> we removed
          and kept   before "Are". Actually there is   before
          . After removing
          , we have "We’re the designers, the makers, the shakers and the teams behind the scense. Are you with us?" We kept that as is? In our output we wrote: "We’re the designers, the makers, the shakers and the teams behind the scense. Are you with us?" We omitted the  . We should keep  . So change to:

          We’re the designers, the makers, the shakers and the teams behind the scense. Are you with us?

          Fifth:

           

          -> we kept

           

          good. Sixth:

          If you love retail, have a strong selling instinct, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and enjoy connecting with people — we’d love to hear from you!

          Note there is no space between the two sentences because the
          removed; but there was a   before TFG, and after the period there is no space. Actually original: "The opportunity: 
          TFG is looking ... period.
          If you love ..." So after removing
          , we have "The opportunity: TFG is looking ... period.If you love ..." There's no space between period and "If". In original there was a line break, but not a space. Should we add a space? Probably not; we should keep as is. However readability may suffer but we must preserve content. So we need to keep exactly that. In our output we added a space. We need to fix. Thus sixth paragraph should be:

          The opportunity: TFG is looking for fun, energetic, excited and hardworking SEASONAL employees to help create the ultimate shopping experience during the festive period.If you love retail, have a strong selling instinct, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and enjoy connecting with people — we’d love to hear from you!

          Responsibilities: •    Being an ambassador... •    Exceed... •    Actively... •    Selling... •    Searching... •    Ensure...

          . We need to convert to

          Responsibilities:

          and list items. But we must preserve the   after colon and the indentation   before each bullet. If we move them into

          and

          , we may lose them. However we could keep them:

          Responsibilities: 

          then

          •     • Being an ambassador...
          etc. But that seems weird. Given the instruction to use
