I think you're on the right track with the < to &lt; path.  If you look at
the examples on ALA, you see they use the <pre><code></code></pre> style,
for example:

<div id="overall">
   <div class="col">
      <p>.</p>
      <p>.</p>
   </div>
   <div class="col">
      <p>.</p>
      <p>.</p>
   </div>
</div>

becomes: 

<pre><code>&lt;div id="overall"&gt;
   &lt;div class="col"&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div class="col"&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>

The <code> tag, per the W3C, "Defines computer code text"

Can't get much more semantic than that. :)
