I think literallayout is the appropriate element. As the Definitive Guide says, " it
does not have strong semantic overtones". You can add a class="monospaced" attribute
if you want that font in the output.

Subject: [docbook] the proper markup for displaying a file snippet?
(apologies for such trivial questions -- i'm only just getting back to docbook
after quite some time away.)
if i wanted to display the contents (or an excerpt thereof) of a simple text file
such as, say, a config file, what is the semantically proper element? i don't want
to use <programlisting> because it's not technically a program. and
<literallayout> and <screenshot> seem similarly inappropriate. what i want is
something equivalent to <filelisting>. what do people here use for that? thanks.
