. Must preserve all original content word-for-word, but we need to remove HTML tags like , , etc. We need to convert to plain text content but keep the content exactly as is (word-for-word) but without the markup? The instruction: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". That means we must keep the text content exactly as appears, but we can strip tags? The original content includes HTML tags; we need to output HTML with semantic tags, but we must preserve the textual content word-for-word. So we need to extract the text nodes, ignoring original markup, and then wrap them in appropriate semantic tags based on headings etc.
We need to identify sections: There's a bunch of bold tags indicating headings: "We provide meaningful careers...", "We are united by a common purpose...", "Netcare invites you to be part of our journey.", then description paragraphs, then "ROLE SUMMARY", then "CONSISTENCY OF CARE", then subheadings like "Patient care", "Scope of Practice", "Policy and procedure development", "Quality and risk management", then "TRANSFORMATION OF OUR SOCIETY", subheadings: "Teamwork", "Education and training facilitation", "Resource Allocation", "Personal and professional development", "Build and maintain stakeholder relationships", "DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION", then "Inherent Requirements:", then "NETCARE VALUES AND BEHAVIOURS", subheadings: "Netcare Values", "The Netcare Way". At end: "Join the team committed to providing the best and safest health and care."
We need to use
for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, etc.). So we should treat each bold heading as an . The introductory paragraphs before first heading maybe just
. Also there are some empty paragraphs.
We need to output HTML only, no markdown fences.
We must not add or remove content. So we need to include all sentences exactly as they appear, preserving punctuation and spacing? We should preserve the text content exactly, but we can normalize whitespace? Probably keep as is but we can collapse multiple spaces? Safer to keep exactly as they appear in the original text (excluding tags). Let's extract the text.
I'll go through the original snippet and extract visible text.
