I've some problems with various inline elements of Docbook.

The first problem is that I'm always confused which one to use: <code>, 
<literal>, <parameter>, <function> and 20 more seem almost the same for me. 
Anybody has a link to a good style guide?

Second, I'm not happy with formatting of either <code> or <literal>. For 
example, take a look at:

   http://zigzag.lvk.cs.msu.su/~ghost/boost_docs/lambda_sect_using_library.html

The "sort" identifier after the fourth example looks almost the same as the 
rest of the text. Looking at

   http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2.advanced.builtins.targets.html

I see the same problem: the identifies lib "lib" do not stand out. I've tried 
to compare this to the look of a printed book. In

    http://boost-consulting.com/tmpbook/preprocessor.pdf

identifiers do stand out, because main text is in relatively thick serif font 
and identifiers are in thin courier.

If we stick to sans-serif for the main text, what are we to do with <code> 
formatting? Any idea?
