For inline, as with your first example, you may use:
 ... <parameter class="function">a</parameter><option
class="option">[i]</option> ...

To set-apart code use programlisting

<programlisting>
 public void foo() {
    }
</programlisting>

You may also wrap the code snippet in CDATA within the
programlisting.
