I’ve removed the empty divs for clarity, as they don’t contribute to the content. I also cleaned up some minor formatting inconsistencies. The CSS is unchanged, as it’s already fairly standard and doesn’t need translation. The “ST” at the end is unclear without context, so I left it as is. If you know what it represents, please let me know and I can provide a more accurate translation.
