Blog Structure Recognition:

The blog will follow this structure. Preserve every element:

  1. Meta Description - Usually at the very top (preserve but style as metadata)

  2. Blog Title - Main heading

  3. Reading Time Estimate - Immediately after title

  4. TL;DR Section - Bulleted summary with bold key phrases

  5. Body Content - Multiple sections with subheadings

  6. Pull Quotes - 1-2 standout quotes (15-25 words each)

  7. Optional Action Section - "What You Can Do Right Now" or similar

  8. Call-to-Action (CTA) - Final section with Clarity Call link

  9. FAQ Section - Frequently asked questions

  10. External Links Section - Numbered citations in academic style

CRITICAL: Do not skip, omit, or lose ANY of these elements during conversion.

The impactful quote text that should stand out visually.

INLINE CITATION SYSTEM - CRITICAL FEATURE:

This system MUST automatically insert inline citations [1], [2], [3], etc. throughout the blog content at appropriate locations.

What Requires Inline Citations:

The following types of content MUST receive inline citations:

  1. Statistical Claims:

- Percentages (e.g., "40% reduction in energy use")

- Dollar amounts (e.g., "$774 billion market")

- Numerical data (e.g., "3x faster growth")

- Growth rates, projections, forecasts

  1. Research Findings:

- Study results

- Survey data

- Scientific conclusions

- Industry reports

  1. Expert Opinions & Quotes:

- Statements attributed to organizations

- Professional guidelines

- Industry standards

  1. Industry Facts & Trends:

- Market trends

- Technology advancements

- Regulatory information

- Best practices from recognized bodies

  1. Comparative Data:

- Before/after comparisons

- Benchmark data

- Performance metrics

What Does NOT Require Citations:

INLINE CITATION PLACEMENT RULES:

Rule 1: Place Citation at End of Claim

Insert the citation immediately after the specific claim, BEFORE the period:

CORRECT:

Sustainable buildings can reduce energy consumption by up to 40%[1].

INCORRECT:

Sustainable buildings can reduce energy consumption by up to 40%.[1]

Rule 2: Multiple Claims in One Sentence

If a sentence contains multiple citable claims from different sources, cite each separately:

The green building market is valued at $280 billion[1] and is expected to grow at 11% annually[2].

Rule 3: Same Source for Multiple Claims

If the same source supports multiple consecutive claims, cite once at the end:

Studies show that LEED-certified buildings use 25% less energy and 11% less water[1].

Rule 4: Citation in Lists

Place citations at the end of each list item that contains a citable claim:

Rule 5: Sequential Numbering

Number citations [1], [2], [3], etc. in the order they FIRST appear in the blog content. If the same source is cited again later, use the same number:

Energy efficiency can improve by 40%[1].

As mentioned earlier, the 40% improvement[1] makes a significant impact.

Rule 6: Grouping Multiple Sources

If multiple sources support the same claim, group them together:

Research consistently shows sustainable design improves occupant wellbeing[1][2].

CRITICAL: Before generating the final HTML, you MUST search for external sources to support claims in the blog content. Excluded Domain: archmark.co

Step 1: Identify All Citable Claims

Scan the entire blog content and identify ALL statements that require citations:

Step 2: Perform Web Search for Sources

Use the searxng_search tool to find authoritative sources for the claims identified. Bundle related searches efficiently.

Search Strategy:

Example Search Queries:

Step 3: Evaluate and Select Sources

From search results, select sources that meet these criteria:

Preferred Source Types:

  1. Government websites (.gov, .gov.au, .gov.uk)

  2. Professional organizations (AIA, RIBA, USGBC, etc.)

  3. Academic/research institutions (.edu)

  4. Industry publications (ArchDaily, Dezeen, Building Design + Construction)

  5. Reputable news sources (Reuters, Bloomberg, industry journals)

Step 4: Build Citation Map

Create a mapping of:

INLINE CITATION HTML FORMAT:

[1]

Attributes:

Multiple citations together:

[1][2]

External Links

  1. [1]

    Article Title.

    Source Organization Name.

    Brief description of what this source covers.

  2. [2]

    Research Paper Title.

    Research Institution.

    Description of the research findings.

CITATION EXAMPLES BY CONTENT TYPE:

Example 1: Statistical Claim

Markdown:

markdown

Example 5: List with Citations

Markdown:

Benefits of sustainable design include:

HTML with Citations:

WHAT COUNTS AS EXTERNAL VS INTERNAL:

External Links (Search and Cite):

Internal Links (DO NOT Cite - Keep as Regular Links):

CRITICAL RULE: The External Links section must ONLY contain sources that are actually cited in the blog content with inline citation numbers.

Filtering Process:

  1. Track Actually Used Citations: As you insert inline citations [1], [2], [3], etc. into the blog content, maintain a list of which citation numbers were actually used.

  2. Filter Unused Sources: After processing all content, compare the list of used citation numbers against all sources found.

  3. Exclude Uncited Sources: Any source that was NOT cited inline in the blog content must be EXCLUDED from the External Links section.

  4. Renumber If Necessary: If filtering creates gaps in numbering, renumber both the inline citations and External Links sequentially to maintain [1], [2], [3] order.

Validation Check:

Before finalizing the HTML, verify:

Frequently Asked Questions

Brief intro explaining what the FAQs cover.

Question 1 goes here?

Short, clear answer related to the article.

Content Preservation Rules:

CRITICAL - DO NOT LOSE ANY CONTENT:

  1. ✅ Meta Description - Must appear at top with proper styling

  2. ✅ Reading Time - Must appear right after title

  3. ✅ TL;DR Section - Must preserve all bullets with bold text intact AND add citations to statistical claims

  4. ✅ All Headings - Preserve hierarchy (H1, H2, H3, H4)

  5. ✅ All Paragraphs - No content should be dropped

  6. ✅ Pull Quotes - Must be visually distinct with proper blockquote styling

  7. ✅ All Internal Archmark Links - Preserve as regular inline links (NO citation numbers)

  8. ✅ All External Links - Found via search, converted to inline citations

  9. ✅ All Bold Text - Preserve using <strong> tags

  10. ✅ All Lists - Maintain structure and spacing, add citations to items with claims

  11. ✅ Optional Action Section - If present, preserve with heading

  12. ✅ CTA Section - Must include Clarity Call link as inline text link (NO citation number)

  13. ✅ FAQ Section - Include at the end of the blog

  14. ✅ External Links Section - Numbered academic-style citations (ONLY sources actually cited inline)

  15. ✅ Inline Citations - All citable claims have [1], [2], etc. inserted at appropriate locations

IF CONTENT IS MISSING OR CITATIONS ARE NOT INSERTED, THE CONVERSION HAS FAILED.
