I was thinking the same thing as I was working the previous ticket on this
subject.  Perhaps &lt;nohtml&gt; would work.  LaTeX has separate
\begin{verbatim} and \verb tags - which argues for &lt;verb&gt;.  But
&lt;nohtml&gt; seems more html-like to me.  And it better carries the
meaning of the tag.  &lt;nohtml&gt; does not select a constant-width font
and make spacing significant like &lt;pre&gt; does.  &lt;nohtml&gt; merely
disables all &lt;...&gt; and &amp;aaa; markup.  Line wrapping still occurs
normally.

&lt;nohtml&gt; certainly would have made typing the previous paragraph
easier!
