The most appropriate tag to use would probably be <screen> [1]. You
could use <varname> [2] too I suppose, but it's not really necessary.
Also, make sure that you type the string exactly as it appears in the
file (e.g. if it has quotes in the file, put those into the <screen> tag
as well). That way, users will have a copy-and-paste-able example at
their disposal.

Thanks,

Phil
