<command> is expected to be formatted inline; shouldn't you use a pre- formatted environment such as a <programlisting> or a <screen>? Here is what I have used, which is rendered to HTML and PDF (via a custom stylesheet to TeXML and XeTeX)

<programlisting>Feb 10 18:32:22 <replaceable>hostname</replaceable> sshd[<replaceable>pid</replaceable>]: Accepted publickey for <replaceable>username</replaceable> from <keycap>↩</keycap> <replaceable>source-ip</replaceable> port <replaceable>source-port</ replaceable> ssh2</programlisting>

In case you can't see it, the thing inside the <keycap> is a LEFTWARDS ARROW WITH HOOK, or U+21A9. I've misappropriated <keycap> here because the font I use for <keycap> has all the symbols I need (XeTeX doesn't have a fall-back font selection mechanism... grrr)

Does anyone know if this is possible, and how to do it?
I'm writing computer software doc and some of the commands are quite long (> length of 1 line) and I'd like to use a backslash and continue the command on the next line.

Failing that, can anyone recommend an alternative approach? This would also be useful when I want to list several consecutive commands, but don't want to break them up with <para> tags.

cheers
