#### 9.8.11.1 text/content

Each documented recommendation SHALL be included as narrative in a content element, labeled with an XML ID (see Section 9.1.1.1 <content> Markup and Links From Entries). The content element NEED NOT be top level markup within the section/text element; it MAY be wrapped in another allowed narrative block markup, such as paragraph, list/item, or table/row/cell.

If the recommendation is based on a clinical guideline, a reference to that guideline MAY be included in a linkHtml element.

Each recommendation SHOULD have a corresponding structured entry.
