Key Steps for Content Cleaning

1. Identify Non-Semantic Elements:

   • Maintain headings and subheadings to ensure structure.
   • Retain lists, tables, code blocks, and any structured data.
   • Ensure image references using markdown syntax remain usable.
   • Allow inline links to function within the main text.
