yes, I'm aware of those but I was rather referring to inline markup not
src/example blocks. To make it clearer, imagine something like this:

  Copy your configuration to /install-dir/conf.

Which ideally would be exported as

  Copy your configuration to <code>/<var>install-dir</var>/conf</code>.

This is something where a src/example block is not suitable.
