The current DB vocabulary isn't quite enough to mark up such things 
fully. After some experimentation, I have come to the conclusion that a 
plain <synopsis> is better than any of the alternatives. (The vocabulary 
itself is incomplete, and the stylesheet support is buggy, so for some 
constructs / languages the output isn't what you would expect.)

You may want to look into a DB extension that provides support for 
extensive C++ markup, which is part of the Boost project:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/doc/html/boostbook.html

I have some ideas about how to merge that back into DB (5), and will 
write about that shortly (if I can find the time).

Regards,
