Are you talking about putting preformatted text in a DocBook document?

If so, you want to use CDATA, something like this:

<programlisting>
<![CDATA[
stuff that contains </> and other things you want to be rendered
without being parsed
]]>
</programlisting>

What parser are you referring to here? Are you talking about the gnome
help parser, gnome-db2html2, that ships with Nautilus?
